Considering you have an IP address on the router of:192.168.1.1, then you can set something up on your receiver like this:
IP: 192.168.1.(2-254)
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway:192.168.2.1

Simples

Here's what I've done so far..

*Configured Wireless Bridge to communicate with router.

*Attached it to Dm500

*Unticked DHCP and set to 192.168.1.12 (router ip is 192.168.1.1)

*Saved Gateway as 192.168.2.1

*Tried to connect with FileZilla...Nothing!!

Do I need to change 'Nameserver'?

Do I change anything on laptop?

Thanks again guys

x enable network
dhcp leave unhecked if you want static ip
ip 192.168.1.12
netmask 255.255.255.0
nameserver 192.168.1.1 (same as router)
gateway 192.168.1.1 (same as router)

also if your going to assign a static ip to the dm dont use one thats already in use by another host its better to give it a higher number or reserver the ip in your router for the dm
