No internet connection

search for the ip addy in dcc of your box then reconnect mate

Are you using a cline or do you have a local card ? as regards freezing , have you checked your router settings as regards your internet and dcc and checked box settings in menu/ network

are you trying to ping it from the pc with command prompt with the boxes ip address or as samba dnla device , id try ping it first and take it from there your box should also show on your router as a connected device im assuming this is wired and not wireless ?

Now my internet seems to be acting the buck lately too, it will disconnect for a couple of seconds and then reconnect again

my router was replaced to stop this I had same problem with internet the router was knakerd

try a cable and see if the issue continues to happen , firstly wireless can be iffy if there is a lot of other routers about and wireless devices might be a new one as of your troubles started , you could try a different channel first , but the cable will tell you if its your router and give you a definite answer to your troubles

If you are on wireless, and it has only started to go wrong, there could be an issue with the wireless channel, causing interference and packet loss. There are some free apps you can use to analyse the wireless channels your neighbours use, so then you could go in to your router and choose a channel that none of your neighbours are using. This may or may not improve things - depends if this is the issue - but best to rule it out!

I use metageek inSSIDer - it is a free app.

still say router is knakerd mine did same every 2 mins or so

maybe but a cable direct to it will answer that straight away home plugs are the best thing to use or a proper wireless extender with Ethernet ports like a netgear WN2000RPT

somewhere in your router settings there will be somewhere to change the wifi channel - It will probably be on auto, and you need to change it to a channel that no neighbours are on. The settings in your router to change this will be something like wireless configuration - and under channel selection or again something along them lines.

Is it ok for a grown man to cry when he cant gert his solo to work??

Yep we've all been there:too_sad:

try a laptop straight in the router if you cant get a long enough cable stream bbc iplayer for an hour or so and see if it plays up , and do a few speed and ping tests , then you can eliminate the router ive been crying for 2 weeks with a card now but im determined lol dont give up walk away and come back to it

should be yes for dhcp let your router issue the ip to the set top box if it was no thats your issue if you specify an ip address you need to do it for every device to avoid conflicts
