There was an old D-Link modem/router lying round, that was replaced a few years back, so I hooked that up to the power and turned it on. Additionally, I had an old USB style thing that provides a wireless connection for the PC (doesn't have wifi built in (as far as I know). It's an "Air-Live WT-2000USB"
So, with the D-Link working, I can now "see" it with the PC. The IP address as reported by the Air-Live Config page is 10.1.1.4 and strangely enough the WifiScope box has this 10.1.1.4 in there as well. Ye Ha I thought, so typed it into the SkySafari page too. But for some reason I just can't get SkySafari to connect, it tried, thinks about it, and fails to connect, telling me to go check my settings.
Before I got this working it didn't think, it just spat at me, telling me it can't connect, so I am close.
One last thing. The iPhone, when I check the settings in there (and bear in mind I am well out of wifi link with anything other than the D-Link, it finds the D-Link, and has plenty of signal strength. If I check the settings, the iPhone reports the IP address as 10.1.1.3
Why??
Like I said, I'm close, and I am a complete novice with networks etc, but am open to a suggestion or two, please.

Gary, only one device on a network can be assigned a given IP address, so what you've written is hard to understand.
The router can probably act as a DHCP server and assign IP addresses to everything else, including the SkyFi and iPhone. You should be able to ask the router what addresses it has assigned on its web config pages.
