Starview 6 Futureproof ?

I got told (don't quote me on this) but it is just grabbing information from a hidden server there is no 2 way conversation so no IP is kept. They also said the server could be anywhere in the world so finding it will be impossible.

 

this is what it says mooley....network settings0000 ip address0000 subnet mask0000 gateway0000 dns0000 2nd dns0000 user dns0000..@ bazzak it is attached via a ethernet connection to router,how do i set to DHCP?

 

Where it says network setting it should be set to auto then choose apply turn it off at power and back on

 

Ive tried that a couple of times now and its still the same,thanks for the help bazzak much appricated any other ideas?

 

Try restarting your router as well, what make is the router?

 

netopia

 

I'm looking at it from a networking point of view mate as I don't have a SV6 but as bazzak says is there not a setting on the box in network settings for DHCP? Usually just a box to tick in network settings. This will automatically assign ip's with your router. If there isn't a DHCP setting can you change the ip's manually. Try typing something into the boxes and see if it allows then we can set it up manually.

 

have you another one you could try? it sounds more like the router not giving the address out.

 

still the same bazzak.@ mooley,cheers for the help,these boxes can be filled manauly but with what,my ip address i can fill but what about the boxes with{subnet mask} {gateway} {dns} {2nd dns} {USER DNS}

 

Cheaper again lol

Maybe someone with a S/V6 setup on the common network could give me the relavent details for these blank spaces?

 

If your using a netopia I'm going to guess your routers ip/gateway is 192.168.1.254? Your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and try 192.168.1.254 as your dns, try leaving the 2nd dns blank and user dns 192.168.1.254 and you know about the ip of the box (within range of 192.168.1.???). Try this and see what happens mate.

 

go to start click my connection find your connection ie Local area connection > right click this go to > properties scroll down on the pop up box find > (TCP/IP)click that and then go to > properties again and make sure the > optain ip address automatically is checked then press ok on the bottom that should sort your problem.

That will assign an ip address automatically for you

 

16 quid each and 8 quid to post for one, thats 24 notes all in, thats a bit dear, anyways, pays to shop about

 

It will be the same details as your PC (go to network connections, double click lan connection , click details) apart from the last 3 digits of the ip address try something like .120 at the end so it doesn't conflict with other devices on your network

 

it wont allow me put anything in the user dns?should i put the user dns numbers into the 2nd dns block

 

DNS and second DNS are the ones from your router the user DNS is fine blank

 

No just leave it blank and see what happens mate. If it doesn't work just put your gateway into the 2nd DNS also.

bazzak you can also just use the gateway address as the 1st and secondary and let the router handle it.

 

If you just want your Ip go to start >> run >> type in the black box >> ipconfig press enter that will give you your ip address


i would not start messing as router setting or you could find yourself knocked off your net

 

As e45 says these are all settings to input into box not the router.
