Spiderbox help needed

[ziggycat]

Hi all,

Just patched a spiderbox hd9000 with the 29/03 patch.

Under "network", the MAC address is all zero's and is greyed out so I can't make any changes.

Clicking "apply", just throws out an "invalid mac address" error message.

Any ideas?

without a mac address the box will not connect to my network.

Shine a torch through the grills near the top back its on the label inside.

I've got the mac address it's easily visible on a sticker through the top grill.

The problem is the Mac address section is greyed out on the box, I cannot enter anything in this field.

EDIT:
Iv'e done a fair bit of seraching but can't find any menion of this problem on a spiderbox.
I've found a couple of Starview fixes here but dont know if they are compatible.

Can you access IP set up?

[ziggycat]

Yes, and set it to manual and input all the fields except "MAC" which stays greyed out.

Pressing exit on the remote or "apply" on screen results in the "invalid Mac address" error

Do a factory reset and repatch.

as soon as you go into network press 1111 as it opens all options again

[ziggycat]

Done, and done.

Still the same

EDIT: I'll look for an older firmaware and give that a try.

Thanks for all the help everyone... all sorted

Used an old FW from 2010 and that fixed it.
