cant resolve hostname
« on: June 07, 2010, 03:52:18 AM »
ok sorry if this has been gone over before but i have done a search
im new to dreambox 500. so be patient with me.

i have followed the instructions to set up jade3 on this box. but i have to use a wifi bridge (im told that this doesnt matter)
one set up i have tried to ping the ip address of the box and all i get back is
"destination host unreachable"
this is from my ubuntu terminal i also get a similar message on ms vista.
when i try to do a software update i can see the wifi bridge flashing away but it comes back with the message
"cant resolve hostname"
have i missed something or maybe do i need to change some settings on my wireless hub. *31*
hope someone can help because i am down to my last few strands of hair and im not sure what to cut off next al capone
nush

ps thanks in advance, during and after (pozz)

Hello

Did you try it to connect to your box, is your box assign Ip adress from DHCP server of your router?

hi moris1
job sorted thanks,
i think it was an update from bt that caused me some confusion as after the update my router have reverted to its default key settings.
but i was using the settings i had put into the router, and the devise seamed to be accepting them.
thanks again.
