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
ipconfig /all

then you should get something like these
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::743f:2b1a:4158:3bed%12(Preferred)
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.34(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : November 22, 2015 12:55:36 AM
   Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : November 23, 2015 9:30:15 PM
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.1
   DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.1
   DHCPv6 IAID . . . . . . . . . . . : 94129718
   DHCPv6 Client DUID. . . . . . . . : 00-01-00-01-1D-C6-DC-C4-3C-97-0E-AB-58-B7
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.1
   NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

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
ifconfig

The inet addr would be the IP address

The Mask would be the subnet mask

To find the gateway, you would need to type
route -n

On the row that says 0.0.0.0, you will see your default gateway's IP address.
