    Do the usual, switch off the rooter and box, switch on rooter when up and running you switch the box at the end that way the ip address will connect.

        Check fta channels, if your not getting fta then their dish is not aligned properly

          are you using a dns?
          if not check that your neighbours box is looking for the right ip and not a local ip like 192.168.1.10
          dont want to say much more regarding servers n clients due to forum rules

            DHCP issue maybe ? Go into menu - select Network - Network Setup' and turn DHCP 'off' if its on and vice versa if its off by using arrow keys and then hitting apply.

                      Follow pappafoz info DHCP issue maybe...... turn off reboot the box.......once the box restarts......turn on ......then reboot the box....this clears the old IP address on the box

                        Are you trying to use the same line at 2 different addresses ?
