Thanks all, that’s one for tommorow I need to dig out the router manual (It’s a Linksys by the way). Any ideas why the portal does nothing.

You can’t use 255 it is the broadcast address if your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. but good advice otherwise.
Oohh, you’re right, good spot, David, thx. I work my way from 254 downwards

If you are definitely using version 1.02.18 then the portal should load, albeit some report slowly, and present you with the options I detailed earlier.
Barry thats the answer, presume 1.02.18 is a beta, the official site lists 1.01.12 as the latest. Off to get the right firmware.
One step forward and one back. Installed the beta and confirmed network access. Trouble is the wired Lan connection to the laptop now says “Unidentified network”. Moved the Fox to address 250 to eliminate potential clash and confirmed it’s still OK. Tried setting a manual IP address on the lan adaptor without any luck.
Any ideas ?
Checked the router DHCP was set to start at 100 with max 50 addresses increased this to 100
You did reboot the FOX? 250 Should be very fine as a static address. the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 ?
Yes no problem with the Fox T2 the problem is that the laptop using the same network switch can’t access the network over the wired connection (WiFi works).
Going to try each item on a straight cable to the router tommorow, try a different network switch and using the netbook on the cable I can’t now use with the laptop. Very strange.
Have you tried with the T2 disconnected/unplugged from the network, just to eliminate that causing your laptop problem.
Strange goings on indeed.
Not yet Barry, but have with it powered off. Tomorrow is another day. It may well be a problem with the network switch. It seems very odd that the T2 wont work with DHCP settings. Will try with a clean connection to the router first.
Going to take the laptop to the router and directly connect it to see what happens.
Todays progress report
First disconnected FOX T2 from network switch.
Booted laptop same problem with wired LAN connection
Connected laptop cat5 cable to direct cable to router, success
Reconnected network switch transferred laptop to another port on the switch, success.
Reconnected and booted FOX T2. Everything now works network connection wise.
However attempting to access the portal gives the following error
An error occurred whilst launching the application htps://www.humaxtvportal.com
Is the server down or is it just my box ?
Sorted Barry
It was the same using a direct connection.
Factory Reset fixed and it now connects using the default DHCP.
