that would indeed be easier but i cant even access the config page... i tried by accessing 192.168.2.99 on my network and 192.168.1.99 when going thru doge's tutorial nothing seems to work
What is your S1's IP Address? 192.168.1.99? Then set your computer IP to 192.168.1.1 and connect directly to your S1, never have a problem with that.
