frozen

[scouse645]

Hi, after doing the online update today my box has frozen on the blue screen with the winter scene, been about ten minutes now and it's just stayed on that, it did at first say loading please wait but now it's just the blue screen, what can i do?

[Rob van der Does]

What does 'arrow up/down' do?

[scouse645]

nothing, i'm afraid

[Rob van der Does]

OK, power off (switch at the back) wait some 30 secs and power on again.

[scouse645]

ok, tried that and still the same.

[Rob van der Does]

Then a reflash is the answer. I hope settings backups are available.

[scouse645]

was hoping you weren't going to say that.

Well I'm having same problem and have re flashed twice now and same thing stops on the blue screen now for 15 minutes with the odd spinning VIX. Wish I had kept the VU duo as this is getting a pain what with slow boots and now this

Tell ya what, I'll swap you my duo for the solo2 if ya want

Seriously though, if you have a null modem cable, you could get a boot log and see what it says. Failing that, hopefully you have debug logs enabled?!

Can you ftp or telnet in to the box?

[scouse645]

i have got to the setup stage anyway, when it asks if you want DHCP or interface which one is it?

[Prioryman]

Still waiting for the screen to clear as for the debug logs enabled doubt it as it is a fresh install, but normally do. Will get back to you as do not want to go to another image as love Andy's work and the VIX image

[scouse645]

what internet connection is it DHCP or interface?

[Stanman]

best to leave it on DHCP enabled

[Prioryman]

Should be DHCP as it always is

[pooface]

best to leave it on DHCP enabled

As stan says...

Unless you know about networking, and will be wanting to forward ports etc, leave it to dhcp
