Light Converse, Help

HOG 4 +1.2.540
HP laptop 4x28. AMD Graphics running Windows 8 + Light Converse.

Please Help I run a Mac Pro and am not much of a Window8 boffin.
If I run HOG4 PC on the Laptop on a second screen all is good but when connecting the console I get no joy, I have HogDP 540 connect installed,
If I unplug the Ethernet cable I can see it drop out on the laptop Hog4 connect window, there must be a configuration I am not getting Please HELP

I would also like this laptop to be a wireless remote focus to.

Make sure both H4 and your LC client are on the same IP and subnet range. Also make sure win 8 firewall is off.

Easiest way for Ip-Settings:

Turn on DHCP server in the console, connect your console to cour PC...

Make sure to turn off Firewall and all other unused network-adapters like bluetooth and WIFI

Marc brought up a good point. DHCP does make it easier to set up your network.

I sent you a PM. If you need a hand have a look at it.

Thanks for responding, I tried turning off the Firewall and setting all other bits to off
but on go, in the hog connect window I get
Status : Connecting
Session: No server

If it is any help I cannot get the console the see HOG4 PC either.
IS THIS A WINDOWS 8 problem ?

I did it with windows 8.
Works.... Easiest way:

* Make your console the DHCP-Server
* Have only the used (wired) network adapter running
* Turn off Firewall

Without more details like IP settings, networksettings and so on no one can help.
Could you post some screenshots of your networksettings in your console and your PC
