unable to connect to internet

[Billynomates]

Hi Sicilian
just tried that and no luck
haven't tried the re-flash yet though

thanks

I don't think it does , I flashed to 009 and my router changed the ip address of my Mutant so I had to change it back to what it was before I flashed. Don't know why because it has never done it before but that is the way I got round it in post 7.

but DHCP means that the router could assign a different ip address every time the box connects to the router... so this is nothing bad, and it actually doesn't matter which ip address the box has (if they are in the same subnet) unless you assign external ports.

Try disabling your DHCP then try it again

No sorry, no luck again

To be honest @2stein I am no whizz kid with all this just try to fix things if they go wrong and to be honest it is the first time it has ever done this after a flash. When I checked my ip address on the Mutant it was the same address has my commie that's why I changed it in network settings with DHCP disabled and now everything works fine

Did you disable the DHCP first then change the settings has I posted

no problem. actually i use a static ip address as well. makes it easier to connect to the box thru telnet or so. :-)

at the minute it's set to 192.168.0.100 when it was first set up and then died
it was 192.168.0.103,
I assume i am changing the right one's ??
and I have tried the 103, with diabling DHCP first

thanks

if you manually set the ip address you also have to set gateway address and nameserver address to the ip-address of your router (192.168.0.1???)

[Bazzer]

In Adaptor settings where it says Use DHCP make sure that is set to no, then scroll down to IP address and change it to your last working IP address and don't forget to press Green to save .

Unplug all other cables in your router but leave your box plugged in. Restart network on your receiver and do a test see if that works.

Static IP on device = Device requests IP address from router. If available, it will be fine.
If already issued to another device, you have problems.

DHCP = Router assigns IP address.

Using DHCP is better as avoids conflicts/errors.

I use DHCP and reserve IP addresses. This means router will reserve the IP addresses for the devices and will not issue to any other device.

@abu without going away from @Billynomates thread how do I ( use DHCP and reserve IP addresses. This means router will reserve the IP addresses for the devices and will not issue to any other device)

fritzbox router allows you to do that (in router network settings).
