coz sometimes it is better to work backwards to see if the router is putting out a signal first...

And I still don't think you want the same ip on both, as it will clash.

When you log into the router what do you type, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1?
cut a long story short mate i had to just ftp files to my openmedia box,
i connected the crossover ethernet wire to my router then to the openmedia box,
on my openmedia box, it came with the ip of 192.162.1.5 with dchp ticked,
the gateway and newsserver was 192.162.1.1,
so i thought it seemed like it was connected to my router,
so i tried to connect in flashfxp to 192.162.1.5,
and guess what... it bloody worked!

i went onto start>run>cmd> pinged my openmedia ip,
and i got the following which proves its definately a correct wired connection,
from my router to the openmedia box -
