[veron57]

I'm not at my box but off the top of my head gateway? and I think this can be the same value as nameserver

[drahcirk]

thanks v, in nameserver, iv got a nunber, 212.74.112.66,
212.74.112.67,

[oldfart]

nameserver should be the router's ip address.
Your router should have dhcp setup, wth a limit - so you can have some fixed ip addresses on your network. - lleave 10 or so at the end of the dynamic range.
set your DM to one of those addresses.
now TURN IT OFF and back on again - REALLY!!!

[drahcirk]

sorry of, cant get to grips with that one, iv put my ip no in nameserver ,wrongly i suspect, cause nothings changed,.

[echelon]

check your ip addresses in the router admin panel , then use dhcp to assign one on the dm800 , then reboot and change it to a fixed ip address away from the main router and pc ones ( you have about 256 to go at ) turning off dhcp , so use 50 or 100 or whatever so it uses the same one each time

or assign it manually in the dm800 yourself and switch off dhcp

thread moved to correct forum

[drahcirk]

thanks echelon, done that ,but, i still dont know what to put in the line nameserver 1, cant grasp it sorry,.

[Dean sat]

Nothing goes in to nameserver1 your .noip goes in to inadyn
All the best Dean.

routers are generaly 192.168.0.1 depending on the router make try it might be right.

it's very hit and miss, but who knows.

regards: canthackit

[veron57]

Try setting your gateway and nameserver both to: 192.168.1.1 then do another network test and see how it goes. On your PC, take a look at the network settings to get a grasp of how it works, its different from router manufacturer... as canthackit says some use 192.168.0.1 but most i've seen are as I mentioned above.

Open a command prompt on your PC/laptop and type in:

ipconfig

This will be useful in what you should type in on your box.

[Giga]

if you don't like the command prompt, you could use this utility: adapterwatch

IP Addresses 172.19.3.5 (255.255.0.0) shows IP address of computer
Default Gateway 172.19.3.1 would be the router address

[oldfart]

Connect DM to ROUTER with normal cable - not crossover.
what is the ip address of the router - you have given 2 different sub-nets above.

Have a look in the public uploads section - new guide for network. (Unless its been moved to DM8000 sticky)
