hi everyone im new here so thought id say hello first ,heres my problem i purchased some tp-link home plugs.the problem is,did a network work test top three went green all good,lan adapter,local network,dhcp all good.then the ip address came up with a red cross and so did the nameserver.anyone had this problem cos its driving me mad.is there something blocking them or am i being a donk? i know im missing something silly here but very new to this.running enigma 2 if thats of any help doubt it though .also dcc isnt picking it up either.if i plug it straight into the router works fine.if you can help thank you.

If you restart ur box after u set the plugs up it will work then.
It will find ur ip after a restart

cheers for your reply,did what you suggested but no luck :-( also did a network scan again but with the same results.any other ideas?as im stuck.

[colly127]

Have you ur home plugs pluged into the wall and not a ex lead?
You can all so try a full restart pull the power lead out wait 30 sec and boot it up

thanks ill give it a try.i know this may sound silly but my router has a password would this stop them??

[colly127]

No it should still find it. Once u scan for wireless networks and pick urs go into it and put in ur password

[dixie74]

[dixie74]
