Unconfirmed IP

[kris07]

Having a nightmare. Downloaded the latest vix image to a brand new 64gb sandisk (formatted fat32) and my duo won't recognise the pen either in the front or back USB ports. I've also tried some cheap sticks and its having non of it. I also put a new boot loader on the Sandisk (reformatted again) and still just boots as normal. Also tried a backup of my current image to see if it had a bug, but my original issue (unconfirmed IP) is still the same. I'm at a bit of a loss now if I can't get to flash the box as its never happened to me when I've flashed it in the past before.
Anyone got any ideas??

Use a max 8GB USB stick, format fat32 using HP Tool http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...ve-Format-Tool

Use a REAR USB port.

If all your sticks fail, buy a genuine max 8GB Kingston stick.

Hi guys heres my update.
Firstly massive thanks to all who took the time to post all there helpful info.

Ok so managed to flash the box, i used the 64gb sandisk but formatted it using the HP link above (Thanks Sicilian) which worked a treat.
Set everything back up as i had it before, skin,ccam,epg etc,etc but still no Network again, IPunconfirmed (The box was inches from going through the window at this point) So decided its got to be the powerline adapters or the ethernet cables to the adapters!
I checked each cable again by plugging it straight into my router and into my laptop to see if i had a internet through the ethernet cables, which i did on each cable. So through process of ilimination im at the powerline adapers, which are ZyXEL PLA4201 v2 which i have x 3. (worth mentioning i have had these adapters 18 months and never had an issue)
I went to the manufacturers website http://www.zyxel.com/euosearch/dl-se...&submit=Search
and downloaded there configuration utility program and instructions. To cut a long storey short, i needed to configure my adapters which was really easy to do and im no network wizz and now everything is working as it should.

So if anyone has these adapters and did what i did, just took them out the box and plugged them in the wall, then you may have the same issue as i did at some point, so hopefully this thread will save you days of fault finding and take you straight to the issue of fixing an unconfirmed IP in your network test.
