[meatloaf]

Hi
I have checked all cabkles and settings ( router and dm are the same ) Dhcp gives me strange ip address starting with 10 !! And still dcc will not connect and i get error "send socket 100972")
Would a new image possibly sort this out

Many thanks

Why is an IP address starting with 10 strange?

Your IP space may be 10.x.x.x so that would be right.

Open a command window on your computer and type "ipconfig" (I am assuming you are using Windo$e) to see what your computer IP address is then you will know if it is correct or not.

What is routers ip? 192.168.x.x?
Manually assign ip to box in network setting '192.168.x.192' and diable dchp
Then test network on box

try pressing menu, then shutdown and reboot now, should sort it

if i was you i'd try another image. ive noticed that the network settings fall into place a little easier in some than others, even when i'm doing the exact same thing.

Thanks

Any idea on most stable image (best chances !!!)

[garry1312]

try pli jade 3.

also this may sound easy but make sure dhcp is set turn off your router then turn off the dreambox. turn router back on and once connected turn back on dreambox. I know this has worked for me in the past.

Really appreciate your help , all this time of work for hols and no satt is not good !!

Garry can you explain your post a bit please

Thanks

why have you connected it to the laptop..???

connect it to the router or it will never find it

log into your router.. if the router fails to find it then either your router is faulty or your port on the dreambox is.. as you have posted this problem on 2 other sites and have had all the required info to fix posted back, if its still not working by now take it as ~~~~ed..

reflash it with gemini 4.2 in the downloads section... flash an erase image first

Have had it in router previously no good
Had someone else box connected to my router (dcc found that)all ok
All free sats ok just no dcc connection

3 forums = desperation !

Have you tried a differant router? Looked for firmware update for the router?

Turn DCHP on in the box save then power off
Power off router
Wait 2 minutes.
Power box
Then power router.
Go make a brew or grab a cold one.
Check to see what IP you have then.

That fails. Manually assign IP address in the box and yurn DCHP OFF.
Power both off again
Power back on and see if its assigned

if you cant get the box to work in your router, but you have managed to get another box to work with your router its pretty obvious the network card on the box is shagged..

try flashing an erase image, then download Gemini 4.2 from the download section here, if it still wont work then it's deffo ~~~~ed
