    Solo2 keeps losing network connection (Ethernet)

    Guys my Solo2 keeps losing network connection. I have to constantly reboot and and 'Restart Network'

    I've been trying various images, from the latest 5.4.014 working backwards to 5.4.012.

    I've rebooted Router, swopped ethernet cable etc, all to no joy.

    Is there anything else anyone can recommend? cheers

    No just standard Motorised Dish and IPTV via Xtream Editor.

    Just opened up Solo2 and gave it all a good blow out, in case of dust issues.

    Just checked and indeed MGCAMD was ticked, you were right

    so unticked it.

    Whats the best way to completely get rid of MGCAMD, as i have used for quite a few years now?

    You don't have to get rid of mgcamd, you have to change/ get rid of the line in the config file that is flooding your network.

    Change this line

    L: { 03 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log

    to

    L: { 00 }

    Is this the mg_cfg file in /use/keys ?

    If so I cannot see the line you suggested.

    I see why I couldn't find the line, its already been edited, as below:

    # Log option, summ of:
    # 00 off
    # 01 network udp log
    # 02 log to console
    # 04 file, appended ! delete it by yourself, before it eat all your hdd
    # + IP udp-port log-file-name
    L: { 00 }

    I'll see how the solo2 behaves now with MGCamD deactivated.

    Cheers for your help

    Hi,
    another possibility is GigaBit. Solo2 uses undocumented and untested features of the SOC to get something like GigaBit. If you can switch back to 100MBit on your router it might be more stable.
