Can anybody help, Ive set up foxsat hdr all seems wel but cant configure ethernet,lead is connected light is flashing on modem as if its talking to box but cannot get any results gone into modem settings checked connected but only shows laptop and ps3 no box any sujestions gladly received.
Can you access the iplayer?
Do you have a DHCP server on the router?
at iplayer says no internet when i go into settings to set up connection it wont find anything in dhcp but will let me manually config as far as router goes im sure it has dhcp evey thing else i connect it findssuch as laptop wired or wireless ebox – ps3 im at a loss not the brightest with IT protacols but usually not stumpped like this
just checked router again is definately dhcp enable

Something is wrong – I would suggest you try again with DHCP, which if enabled should get you access to the iplayer which will confirm internet connectivity and access to a DNS server.
Does the PS3 and Laptop get addresses via DHCP?
anything i connect auto works just the fox that doesnt seem to want to know thanks anyway will keep trying been at it all bloomin day as for humax sent them email up to now theres no reply do you know if the fox should be showing lights at ethernet at point back of box?

It is standard to show a green light at the rear if connected electicaly, it will flash green yellow/orange depending on the relative speeds of the two connections.
thanks ill check it later cant do much when the wifes watching soaps lol
Got a green solid and orange flickering so tells me that its at least trying to connect the more i try the worse my head hurts all is becoming as clear as mud lol
connected the ethernetcable from fox hdr to my lap top– laptop connected to internet modem wirelessly all works to get bbci player + itv,, reconnected to modem direct cable to foxhdr no joy not sure where im going wrong think its got to be in router setting 1am heads a shed going to bed gnt
You need to connect the cable from the Foxsast to your router.
I did but got no result with direct connection that was when i had the idea to go via the laptop ie- foxsat to laptop with ethernet lead laptop to internet via wireless connection to router doing this worked fine for both iplayer & itv ondemand. which servse to proove the problem is no with fox but with router setting cos when i reverted back to ethernet cable direct from fox to router no connetion to internet was found went through all router settings could not find anything amiss
The poblem with using the laptop is it has 1 ip address and the foxsat needs its own. I doubt you are running a DHCP server or know sufficient to set a routing table on both your router and laptop. The loptop would also need to be configered to allow traffic between the two adapters (wifi and cable)
On the router check DHCP is enabled. Then check on the Foxsat (Setup>Diag>Network) that it has an ip address and the green light at the rear on the Foxsat ethernet port is lit.
You won’t be able to go FoxSat to Laptop to router to internet unless you set the laptop to share its internet connection (which can be a fiddly procedure, and some people have trouble with it).
Have you tried other ethernet connection cables and different router ports in order to eliminate some error possibilities?

router is set dhcp on going through laptop i enabled allow other to connect to internet through through laptop this is basics the fox once connected to lap top ethernet port worked for iplayer and itv catchup— but if i connect ethernet from fox to router without laptop it becomes invisable doesnt show in network connections on router and through settings on fox will not configure dhcp. i have 3 routers same thing on all have tried variouse different ethernet cables still living in hope of a solution green lights on orange flickering
