The issue I think is the way you are setting up your IP addresses.
Different IP's simply just don't work, they have to be on the same subnet.
For example, if your router's IP address is 192.168.0.1, then you need to have 2 other IP addresses, 1 for the ipad and 1 for the skybook.
If your router is set to issue IP addresses via DHCP then most IP devices that connect to it will automatically get an IP address if the device is set to receive an IP via DHCP.
So if that is the case,
Your router is 192.168.0.1
Your iPad IP may be 192.168.0.2
Your skybook may be 192.168.0.3
Depending how your router is setup, will depend on which IP address will be assigned but they will all be on a common subnet, eg 192.168.0.x
So, what is the IP address of your iPad? Did it automatically get an IP address from the router via DHCP? If so, then you may need to setup the skybook to get an IP address via DHCP, (look in the settings and set to get IP via DHCP).
If your router is not assigning IP addresses via DHCP, then it's a manual setup.
Which means the router is 192.168.0.1, you gave your iPad a manual IP address and you need to give the manual IP address to the skybook as well.
You will also need a subnet mask when setting IP addresses. In your case it will most likely be 255.255.255.0
So is your router set to DHCP or manual? In a lot of cases, it will be DHCP.
Use a straight (normal) Ethernet cable, not a crossover.
Cheers,
Damien.
