tried to update package lists in package mgmt ( using internet explorer 8 on windows xp )after latest firmware eventually successfully updated to my HDR box but get error:
opkg update wget: bad address ‘hummypkg.org.uk’ Downloading http://hummypkg.org.uk/foxsat/base/Packages.gz. Collected errors: * opkg_download: Failed to download http://hummypkg.org.uk/foxsat/base/Packages.gz, wget returned 1. Updating package meta information
Trying to install opkg tools shows similar message ending “Perhaps you need to run ‘opkg update’? * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package opkg-tools.”
having found code (Admin Edit: link removed as it contavenes forum rules) frmm raydon’s software post I failed to establish a connection using microsoft telnet client to my box’s ip address.
sucessfully installed telnet to box but get bad address nowster.org.uk as I assume that web address is out of date.
opkg update failed in telnet as shows hummypkg.org.uk as bad address
Is installing by usb stick – settop-patch v4.0.9utc the only way to go…or is there a later file I can download?
From the HDR telnet can you ping the following name ?
hummypkg.org.uk
The settop patch is not really part of the custom firmware bundle. It’s a related hack which is of interest if you want to export HD material from the HDR.

Any reference to or help with this patch would of course be contrary to our Forum rules.
Really Barry? Then maybe that is not what I’m looking for, all I wanted to do was update and install some of the packages in package mgmt but I keep getting errors referring to opkg update, maybe I mis-read another thread as I thought that file would fix it.
How can I get the packages on the web interface to install or update?
an attempt to upgrade webif for example yields the following error:
opkg upgrade webif wget: bad address ‘hummypkg.org.uk’ Upgrading webif on root from 2.72 to 2.75… Downloading http://hummypkg.org.uk/foxsat/base/webif_2.75_mips.opk. Collected errors: * opkg_download: Failed to download http://hummypkg.org.uk/foxsat/base/webif_2.75_mips.opk, wget returned 1. * opkg_install_pkg: Failed to download webif. Perhaps you need to run ‘opkg update’?
Dino, as someone relatively new to telnet, please confirm if what I did was right, I typed “ping hummypkg.org.uk” and I get bad address ‘hummypkg.org.uk’
just tried opkg update again in telnet, again: wget: bad address ‘hummypkg.org.uk’
Collected errors: * opkg_download: Failed to download http://hummypkg.org.uk/foxsat/base/Packages.gz, wget returned 1.
Mark,
OK, if when you ping by name you get ‘bad address’ it confirms at minimum that your HDR isn’t able to see a DNS server which throws up a number of queries.
Is the HDR on your LAN with access to the router and set up properly to reach the Internet ?
Is it using DHCP ?
Can you ping your router LAN address ?
Dino
Since you can telnet in, I assume it’s on the LAN.
If using DHCP, the router should sort it out, but if manual check the HDR’s network settings using
Menu
System
Network
Look at IP address, mask and in particular at the router and DNS setting.
Dino, thanks again for replying
Yes am using LAN home network, router settings show DHCP on
Humax IP address is correct as it’s the one I am using to view the web interface.
on the Humax – Router and DNS setting are the same ( my router ip address 192.168.1.1 )
Humax configure IP = DHCP
fyi – checked my firewall and disabled it, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference – same error message
OK, telnet into the HDR again and enter the command
ping 89.248.55.76
and let us know the result
Dino, I get ping: recvfrom: Unknown error -89 constantly
I was about to add, I had problems with my DNS this morning, BT servers, and I needed to change the DNS on my router to get certain addresses resolved properly. I could get some sites, but I didn’t check to see whether they were cached locally or not it seemed easier to change the DNS entry, happens once in a blue mooon.
If you have a pc/laptop ping hummypkg.org.uk from a dos/command window
and then do the same from the Humax from the telnet prompt
both should resolve to 89.248.55.76
you should also be able to ping the above ip address as Dino asked from the Humax. If you can then you need to look at the DNS on the router, reboot it or add different DNS servers would be the easiest and quickest option. If you can’t ping the ip address from the Humax then there are other problems.
Edit:
just seen your latest reply, have you tried physically rebooting both the router and Humax. The DNS problems I saw this morning could have mucked up the router.
It’d also be interesting to know whether you can ping hummypkg.org.uk from the pc/laptop and not from the Humax after the reboots.
Thanks Damian ( just curious – assume you’re not the same damian from a Dune / zappiti forum I once used? ), anyway can ping 89.248.55.76 sucessfully from an dos/command session on my networked pc, still unknown error -89 from telnet session.
switching off modem router and humax still shows same results as above
can ping hummypkg.org.uk sucessfully from a dos/command session on my networked pc, still get “bad address” from telnet session.
If you can’t ping by number, it can’t be a DNS issue as there’s no DNS required. Can the HDR ping the router ?
ping 192.168.1.1
Then enter
arp -a
You should see at least two entries, one being your PC and the other being the router.
If your router is in the arp cache try a traceroute to the repository.
traceroute 89.248.55.76
Let us know the results.
One more request. On the HDR enter
netstat -r
on the HDR and post up the results.
Dino
