any lan device needs a different ip or conflicts will happen ,to get it to connect sometimes rebooting box and network applies,off for 20 secs then on.

go into menu>ip settings make sure dhcp usage is set to on and press the red button to start ip scan it should find it that way.

Hi Thanks again I have done that pressed the red button nothing hapend what am I doing wrong cheers take care
 
the ip from your tm box if the last number is 5 put the same ip in your blade but put 6 as the last number.
 
so what you are saying is after the ip scan no ip address is found all are 000.000.000 ect? if that is the case then check your lead from the blade to the router.if an address is found ie 192.168.001.005 the all is fine it is connected right.

there are some issues with certain netgear routers and blade.i had one that would not connect automatic i always had to do the red button ip scan after i turned the blade off. swoped to virmin superhub no probs now connects automatic without scan.
if an ip address is found in the scan then goto menu>blade online if that connects ok then its a problem with the cs line or cs line info.

it could also be router firewall issues turn off routers firewall. make sure you have the latest PATCHED firmware installed on the blade oct 2012.
 
Thanks there is an IP address in there but when I click O.K. on it it should say connected and a channel list should come up but it dont cheers take caer
 
Problem I've had in the past, the blade doesn't like connecting to a network where the subnet mask is anything but 255.255.255.0
 
thanks thats whats in my box does it matter it dont connect because its only a channel list isnt it I dont know never got that far Cheers

If I remember right 255.255.255.0 is what would come up in the blades settings but the actual network subnet mask was (for me) 255.255.0.0 so in other words the blade wasnt detecting the correct subnet.
you need to check what the actual subnet mask address is on your network.

Assuming you're using windows computer on the same network as the blade click start button > click run type in "cmd" without the quotes
Next a box will pop up and then you need to type "ipconfig" and press enter
this will give you the addresses your network is using

If the subnet address is the same one as the blade then the blade is detecting it correctly and this fault isnt your problem
