2 Computers running Hog 4 PC + Superwidget

Ok so here's the situation: I have a desktop running Hog 4 with a Superwidget hooked up and running. The problem is that the desktop is located in a spot that makes programming very hard. The best solution of course would be to move the computer, however it has other functions that require it to remain in that spot.

What I'm trying to do now is to use my laptop (that has Hog 4 running) to program since my laptop is obviously more mobile. The issue is that I cannot get the Hog 4 on my laptop to find the show on the network that the laptop is broadcasting.

I've done WLAN connections, and even went hardwire into the desktop to see if my laptop can find any show at all. I've also adjusted my network settings accordingly so I dont think that's the issue.

Not sure why this has to be so hard. I thought I would not have this issue anymore like I did when I tried something similar a while back with a Wholehog 3 and Hog 3 PC.

    So here again the to dos:

    * Connect your laptop and desktop to the switch
    * Set up your IP addresses in the same range and subnet. No matter if you are using 192.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x range. As long as you are using the same range all is good.
    Subnet for 192.x.x.x. must be 255.255.255.0, for 172.x.x.x. must be 255.255.0.0 and for the 10.x.x.x it is 255.0.0.0
    * Start your main H4 system, start your remote system (if using a wifi to connect turn off the server and you can also change the Net-Number if you like)
    * If all network settings are done correct you can now log into the show running on your desktop and walk around with your laptop to do your focus etc)

    Turning off the server I recommend because with Wifi you might easy loose the network-connection and this might cause problems.

    Hope this helps....
    I know I always forget 1 or 2 steps for not so expierenced operators....
