I wish I could help you, but I don't know why you cannot connect. You currently are running one Cube without any issues right?
The only thing that I think could be effecting it is that your router and your computer are not on the same subnet, one is on 10 and the other 1...
How did you get your first Cube running correctly? How come you cannot replicate that course of action?

I got the first one running by using 192.168.1.1 on both the IP and Gateway. I finally got both to the same addy this time too, but still could not connect. I have used both my laptop and desktop. It is almost 9am hear and I have been at this since 5:30.
I don't know if I can access the router set up page or not. I will try and report back.
If I recall correctly, your router's (gateway's) IP address is 192.168.10.1. Try to type this into your browser.
Right. I am in the admin of my wifi router.
The information is
IP address: 192.168.10.1
Default gateway is also 192.168.10.1
Ok, good. Now you should be able to change the IP address of your router temporarily so that you can see the Cube. You need to do this temporarily because the subnet (third # in the IP address) of the router and the Cube must match in order for you to see the cube on your network. Because the Cube's IP address is 192.168.1.254, you need to change the router's IP address to 192.168.1.1 to see it.
If you have devices on your LAN with static IP addresses, they will temporarily loose connection with your router. Make sure your PC or Laptop are set for DHCP so they will dynamically get a new IP address once you have temporarily changed the IP address of the router. If they have static IP addresses on the old subnet 192.168.10.xxx, you will loose connection to the router.
There is simpler way to connect your laptop directly to the cube with an ethernet cable, but I've never tied it before and don't know exactly how to do it.
