Hi all,
Pulling my hair out trying to hook up to my HDR-T2 via FTP.
Connection is via Devolo mains plug (ethernet cable from plug to HDR)
Thence to Linksys WAG320N router and desktop cabled to that.
I’ve set the IP address to 192.168.0.101 and scanning the IP addresses (using an IP scanner) I can see the Humax box is there but connection is shown as dead.
Pinging it gets no response.
Firewall looks fine – switched off briefly just to check. running Windows 7. Oh and TV Portal works fine on the HDR!
FTP is ON, as is content share on the HDR options.
Any suggestion why I can’t see the HDR-T2?
Thanks – suggestions much appreciated!

Why is the Humax on a different subnet?
If your subnet = 255.255.255.0 then you need either this :-
Humax = 192.168.1.101
P.C. = 192.168.1.103
or this :-
Humax = 192.168.0.101
P.C. = 192.168.0.103
Not this :-
Humax = 192.168.0.101
P.C. = 192.168.1.103
However it would work with a subnet of say 255.255.0.0
ahhhhh I see. looks like the gateway address wasn’t right either on the humax.
Thanks Guys – I’m in !

Why are you entering IP addresses manually? Allowing your HDR Fox T2 to get addresses from your router automatically should work much better. Also what if your router allocates that address to something else? What have you done to prevent the router allocating that address?
Routers usually divide the 255 IP address into two groups e.g. 1-127 for DHCP only and 128-254 for Manually allocated IPs only, so in this case you would manually allocate an IP from the 128-254 block

My router reserves 1 to 63 for static IP addresses and uses 64 to 254 for DHCP. I don’t think any generalisations can be made about the ranges.
The original poster had PC on 101 and Humax on 103 which are almost certainly both in the same range. Whether this is the manual or automatic range is unclear.
I prefer to let the router use DHCP for as much as possible – anything I want to fix I just create an address reservation on the router. That way you don’t have to remember what you set which host to – a quick peek at the router settings tells all.
