IP settings

[celticrobbo]

Hello all,

Been given a dbox2 from a friend to take a look at as it keeps locking up.

I was going to stick a new image on it but tried to ftp into it but having no luck.

Tried crossover and also through my router.

I am able to change the IP/gateway etc on the box but it seems it doesnt take the setting properly as if i press to show active settings it still has its original IP, but exit that and go back to IP it is the one i set

Im new to these boxes as i generally use the eurovox ones, anyone offer any guidance as to where i might be going wrong?

Incidentaly, any easy way to tell if the box is 1x or 2x, if it helps at all it is a Sagem one.

Any help most appreciated.

make sure ip is 1 above the one of you pc
example pc = 192.168.1.5
box = 192.168.1.6

yeah i know about that, im really just querying the fact it doesnt appear to take the settings im changing which i think might be causing the issue.

I do see a guide for using a null modem cable so might give that a go

Untick the dhcp box, then save settings after you change IP address and allow network.

will take another look!

any advice on the whole 1x 2x thing for the box? i believe this refers to chips? any easy way to check without hunting for my screwdriver?

Take the top off and look inside. I flashed a 1x box with a 2x image and it was a pain in the ass to fix. Dont take the chance.

It is possible to see with a torch through the slots in the top, get hold of pt1s help file if you can as it tells you everything you need in there.
