General Category > How do I...
I think I messed up my new GS911 before I even got started.

Well now the fun starts. I posted a bit over at the Cafe, but to keep that topic clean, I have some issues that need to be ironed out. Hopefully you or someone can help me sort our my computer maze.
Here is where I am at. I run an intel macbook 2gz core 2 duo with 10.7.5
This is not good enough for the hex software, so I have parallels running windows 7 enterprise.
I'm posting using this setup, so I do have internet working.
About my internet, I run boost mobile with Pdanet and a usb cable. I have 2 usb ports, so I can use the usb on the gs911.
I can hook up the gs911 and navigate to 10.0.0.1 and get the basic menu.
I can also open the hex software and click register and get my info to pull up.
My conclusion is...why won't it work? aaaaagh
I get a not connected to internet when I click on the menu from the 10.0.0.1 page.
So I need to setup some sort of network within my mac using the windows or mac as a server???? Is this what I am missing?
I have at different times seen the gs911 tool pop up in the wireless window, but for some odd reason, on the windows side in paralells, it is not showing any wireless connections, just home or work networks and a message saying not connected to interenet.
That is what I think I need to fix.
Any Ideas?

The GS911 is in ADHOC mode hence the 10.0.0.1 IP No and the MAC is connecting to it via WiFi, the GS911 will not have access to the Inernet
Considering the way you are connecting to the internet via mobile phone only and tethering to the MAC, perhaps you need to simplify things
1/ Only use the MAC to run Parallels and use the PC app completely off line
2/ Use the Mobile Phone with the GS911 connected to it via the WiFi hotspot on the phone to do updates and use cloud services

I really don't want to us wifi. Is there a way?
I used the parallels because the mac is my internet and it is older and I cannot run the hex software.
The gs911 must be talking to something online, as it checks registration. So why can't I get the rest of the functions?
In a perfect situation, where would I find the reset service reminder function?
The screens on the hex site don't look nothing like I have. So then are you saying when I am at the 10.0.0.1 screen, that is not where I should be?
I looked areount online, and I can set up an ad hoc wireless, will that work? That's where the mac and windows running in parallels would be interesting. I tried setting up something, and got some warnings like "you need a server or windows enterprise or ultimate" I have 7 enterprise on the parallels.
I also have an Asus, but I use it more for solid works and other productivity software and really never hook it up online. I kindof want to keep it that way if at all possible. The netbook or parallels, for windows stuff.
My android does not have wifi hotspot, it don't work unless I root the phone.

There is a time and a place for both wired connection and WiFi
Out on the road off line Adhoc mode from a phone is handy for fault finding and is used to start/stop internal real time logging, in adhoc mode the phone/mac/tablet is logging into the GS911 WiFi hot spot, hence the 10.0.01 IP No
In the workshop windows with parallels on the MAC is handy to use the PC app via USB, if the parallels Windows Virtual Machine is properly configured it should have access to the internet via the MAC host and the phone tether to do updates/registration etc
What you would need to do for the MAC to give the GS911 access to the web via the GS911 WiFi interface is set up a WiFi hot spot with OSX control panel/internet sharing, then configure the GS911 to connect to that hotspot and save it so it can access it in the future. Configuration can be done either via WiFi in adhoc mode or from the GS911 Windows WiFi utility
