Firstly, In your router look for the setting along the lines of "DHCP settings" or "IP settings" in your router. Make sure the option "DHCP Enabled/DHCP" is checked/ticked.

Secondly, I suggest you switch everything off then turn everything back on
e.g Router and the set top box.

Then turn the router back on.
Then turn on the Skybox.
Wait for 5 minutes.
Check the lights on the homeplug that are connected to the router as well as the Skybox.



Hope this helps.
