what network types are supported?

olapbill,

I had similar problems and it turned out to be a firewall issue. After installation on Windows 7 (64) I had to manually add an exception to the Windows Firewall.

Hope this helps,
Feoh.

A lot of wireless routers have a feature where they will isolate users of the network from each other. So you can see all the other computers on your internal (wired) network from machines on the network but you cannot see laptop-1 from laptop-2 when they are both on the wireless.

The airport / time-machine has this, and most routers targeted at enterprises do as well.

Can you SSH or hit a website hosted on your laptop while at your office?

Thanks for the input guys. Feoh, what exception did you end up adding? Again it only happens within the work network.
wmperry, I can see other systems that are wired, even though I am wireless. I will need to verify if I can see other wireless devices on this AP. I'll let you know how I get on.

cheers,
Bill

olapbill,

Sorry for my late reply.

I opened the Windows Firewall from Control Panel. At the left one can select 'Allow a program or feature through Window Firewall'. In the list look for DisplayLinkIpadSoftware and check all the checkboxes in this line. In my case only Public was unchecked.

Cheers,
Feoh.

olapbill,

I use DisplayLink on my laptop and lately I found Connectify to be the perfect companion. It creates a hotspot I connect my iPad to. Works like a charm everywhere regardless of the local infrastructure.

Cheers,
Feoh.
