What Netmask

(1/2) > >>

I have a Motorola access point to play with but I'm struggling to get the web page up to configure it.



I have powered it up and used a 'Test' computer to connect it to. Static IP = 169.254.162.170
Netmask = 255.255.255.0

with the default IP address off the bottom of the Access Point 169.254.162.168

It seems to connect and I can ping it.

But putting http://169.254.162.168 in a web browser it does not connect.

Is the Netmask correct for that IP range ?.
Any idea's please.

Dray:
Try 255.255.0.0

No good  :'(

It's an odd Default IP address 169.254.162.168

Dray:
It's in the link-local address range 169.254.0.0/16
