Setting IP

[kingy29]

How do I set a static IP I can`t get rid of all the zeroes and the box will not connect works OK with DHCP .

Do you know what IP you want to set?

You dont need to worry about the 0's, just overwrite them.

i.e. 192.168.2.20
Subnet mast: 255.255.255.0
Gatewat 192.168.2.1

When you get to the network options, just select not to use DHCP.... you should only really need to populate the IP.

Leave the rest as it is.

When I attempt to overwrite the ip the zeroes remain eg. 192.168.002.005 instead of 192.168.1.5 and I can`t connect.

dont worry about that. will still work.

Once setup....have you tried doing a test using the test element?

See if you get any errors?

Does the box come up? If it does, are you able to ping the IP from another device?

Use a different IP address to what DHCP is setting the unit to.

have you tried 192.168.001.005

[kingy29]

Yes tried that and other configurations the only way I can connect is by DHCP I have now changed my router to use a static IP through DHCP

[neil306]

strange as that worked for me fine 192.168.001.005

.001 .002 etc is the same as .1 .2 etc.

If it still isnt working when doing this then something else is your problem.
