f5s internet connection problem

[winger1]

hi guys hope you have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year, etc. new to the site so im sorry if Im asking questions that have already been covered. got myself a f5s today and when connecting it the my broadband via Ethernet im getting a red signal on the port iv selected hence ''offline'' issue but it seems youtube works! I think this is limiting my skybox's potential. any help will be much appreciated

If Youtube is working fine its the bit we cant talk about if you have read the rules if you catch my drift.

sorry im not sure what you mean. freeview through and through! just confused certain functions work with Ethernet to router showing red. should it not been green if youtube works etc? cheers andy

This is the bit in the rules Discussions about cardsharing are not allowed, including, but not limited to, cccam, gbox, mbox, etc.
If Youtube is working its the bit in the rules thats the problem.
Not an internet problem.

The Red & Green tabs showing if the ethernet/wireless ports are active or disabled have nothing to do with any cams.

The answer to the op's question is yes the green tab should show if the port is active and working.

Try changing it to the wireless port and back to ethernet. It will reboot when you change and this may correct the coloured tabs. Failing that the software could be reinstalled.

Didn't say it did most noobs by a box for one reason hence they come on the forum asking why it says offline. If fta all they want there's no need to ask imho,

If the OP is asking the OFFLINE bit then correct....we cannot help you its against the rules as Andy says

But as DW say's it could just be the setting's on the box

As you say your on Ethernet goto Menu/network settings/ethernet/...make sure DCHP is on...if not turn it on restart the box

see it this sorts the problem

And p**n of course . Tried to reboot a few times, left it had a few drinks, forgot all about the problem. This morning it's fine! Must of done something in my drunken state. Thanks for the reply fellas, appreciated. I'm using my fone so I will use the like function later

Then they shouldn't be on here talking about it

At least your sorted...couldn't understand why you were setting up a port in the 1st place..always just been a case of leave DHCP ON and it does the rest once connected to your router.....you can assign an IP / port if you want but you would need to configure your router to match.

[andy91]

Think we all know why you bought the box. Cant pull the wool over my eyes
