I have turned off password protect & set to 40bit security.
What about the gateway? How is W7 going to be able to reach the mediagate if it doesn't know which gateway to go thru?
DNS is primarily for internet access. To connect to the mediagate, DNS is not required.
I have a suggestion.
I have virtualXP installed on Win7.
Could I use that in any way to get the network IP address to work?
Yeah I dont see why not....
Just follow the manual to set up sharing and that's it.
I also found your router i think.. let me know if i am right

Hey, am I missing something here?
The Mediagate device is on the same network as the Win7 PC, unless the network cable connecting Mediagate to Win7 is busted, it should PING no matter what... I assume the Mediagate device is connected on the LAN interface of Belkin router, right?
There's no need to put "Default Gateway" or "Gateway" on anything unless you want the said device to connect to the Interweb, applying IP address with same network address should suffice.

The router in this case is the gateway. To be able to ping the mediagate, W7 has to know that it is going thru the router, which means gateway.
