So if your APEX is 192.168.1.77 then your APEX must be assigned assigned an IP in the same range. Presumably your subnet is 255.255.255.0 so my suggestion to get started would be to rebuild your network something like this:
192.168.1.1 - Router
192.168.1.2 - Computer
192.168.1.3 - APEX
Test that the devices can see each other with a PING from the command line. Open a CMD prompt by START-> RUN-> CMD (ENTER). This will open a black DOS box where you can type the following ping commands:
PING 192.168.1.3 (ENTER)
You should see four pings go out and come back successfully like this:

If you see the above then your computer can "see" the APEX on your local network your almost finished. If you get "request timed out" then you have to look at the network again until you can ping each device.
Once you get the network built so computer can ping router and computer can ping APEX carry on with instructions from APEX. You might have to configure Port Forwarding in the router but try it without first.

Hey, thanks. This is some of the most useful info I've received yet! I'll give it a try when I get home.
