For those who are struggling on what to fill into the IP address, netmask and gateway. Here's how you could find it.
1) With a windows computer (Make sure the computer is connected to your network)
Open command prompt, type
then you should get something like these
So under the IPv4 address that is the IP for the computer. It is not the IP for TVPad. You would need to use another IP that hasn't been used on your network for your TVPad, or else there would be problems with IP conflicts.
For the default gateway and and the subnet mask, you can just use those in your TVPad settings.
That's it
2) With a MAC computer
Open up Terminal
then type
The inet addr would be the IP address
The Mask would be the subnet mask
To find the gateway, you would need to type
On the row that says 0.0.0.0, you will see your default gateway's IP address.
