Zgemma 2s internet connection

[pablo7]

This is doing my head in lads..setup the box this morning,flashed with openatv 5.0...connected to Internet via powerline adaptor..happy out...fast forward to tonight..no internet connection,I've tried with a wifi dongle and everything but no joy....the wifi is picking up my modem alright but not connecting,is it the image having some bearing on the Ethernet port?im out of ideas..the image is nice though with the new sky skin I thought I was sorted

What power line adapter you using,i will go through it with you and get you up and running stop stressing

 

[pablo7]

Cheers thanks I don't know what's happening,their tencia 200 Mbps adapters

1st things 1st i fit 10 of these every week so your in good hands, i will help you through bit by bit,re flash your box with

• ZgemmaStar 2s(&H1) Vix 165 10/06/2015 sucmnsee its a lot more friendly to use for beginners to set up your own box,everything is done for you(download and takes about 5 min to flash)

 

[pablo7]

have you got a good server to put on your box

 

[pablo7]

Yes I have 45mb fibre but we are all connected to it but it works away fine..first impressions I love the skin!im booted up

Sorry I misunderstood you there...no server on it I'm waiting for it

 

[1554leslie]

i can give you a 24 hr server so you can get your box up and running (next thing is your internet connection to the box) use your home plugs and connect everything up

 

[pablo7]

That'd be great cheers..but seem to be stuck at same hurdle here with connection

In test I'm getting green for the first three and red the last two..strange when I can see the IP address earlier

 

[1554leslie]

You said you had your home plugs working this morning (yes or no)

 

[pablo7]

That's correct,and the same ones I tested on an android box earlier and had no problems

 

[1554leslie]

Go to menu/information/network,will show ip address on top line if connected

 

[pablo7]

That's why I'm wondering is it the Ethernet port there is no light when cable is plugged in

---------- Post Merged at 12:19 AM ----------

It says connected??bytes sent/received green link light

---------- Post Merged at 12:21 AM ----------

No it's not connected still

 

[1554leslie]

on your home plugs you will have lights on each plug with a little reset button,push the button and you should have all 3 green lights on if connection is good

 

[pablo7]

The three lights are green on both,but also on both the middle one "a house" is flickering

 

[1554leslie]

you must have an internet connection if its showing an ip address on your box

 

[pablo7]

The IP address is now showing under information as you asked me earlier ??

But still won't recognise it in network test..baffling

 

[1554leslie]

forget network test your jumping the gun again

 

[pablo7]

Sorry just wanting to see what s going in

---------- Post Merged at 12:42 AM ----------

[1554leslie]
