Hi All, would be very appreciative of any help…
I had everything working fine in my old house. The whole Portal area was perfect and didn’t miss a beat. Now I’m re-connecting everything in my new place and for the life of me I can’t remember what cable went where!
I had: HDR Fox T2, Apple TV, phone socket, ethernet cable, telly.
Some combination of cables made everything work fine.
I have the exact same equipment but I’m not getting access of Portal (‘No Network Found’).
Could anyone help a complete dufus wire everything back up again?
Thanks very much in advance.

That list does not include a modem/router. You need to connect the HDR to the router so that it can talk to the outsie world.
Thanks Martin.
But I didn’t have a router before. And it worked seamlessly!
What was the ethernet cable connected to before when it was all working?
That’s the question. It sounds ridiculous but I can’t recall. I just know the set-up worked fine.
In that case I am 100% confident in telling you it was connected to a router in your old home which in turn was connected to the internet in one way or another although it is possible all you saw was a wallplate socket (was it a block of flats?). Do you have an internet connection at all in your new home?
Yes, there is wifi in the new house, just as there was wifi in the old house. It was a personal account, no communal block-of-flats system.
The router in both cases is in my office, connected to a Time Machine.
Connecting the ethernet cable to the wall socket wouldn’t work, would it? I’ll try it anyway and report back.
So now there is a router? Unless your home is wired up with ethernet distributed to wall sockets then that won’t work. Plugging the ethernet cable into a telephone socket won’t work and in fact shouldn’t fit. I am still getting the feeling we are not being told the whole story. Does the word homeplug ring any bells with you?
