unable to connect to internet

[Billynomates]

I have Xtrend 9500 with openvix Hades 18. Yesterday pulled out wrong cable to router and lost network on STB. Unable to get it back.
Network test
LAN adapter LAN Connection ok
local Connected ok
DHCP enabled ok
IP address unconfirmed
Nameserver uncomfired

tried Network wizzard,
user interface yes
Use DHCP yes

Your internet connection is not working!

Router ses the box and has asigned IP address, have restarted network, no luck!

IP address is different to original ended 103 before now 100, does this matter?

Any help will be gratefully received, pulling what little hair I have out!!

Thanks

Are you using mgcamd ? if so you config file may be the problem.

 

[Billynomates]

yes, what do you suggest? deleting and reinstalling perhaps

Edit line L

# Log option, summ of:
# 00 off
# 01 network udp log
# 02 log to console
# 04 file, appended ! delete it by yourself, before it eat all your hdd
# + IP udp-port log-file-name
L: { 03 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log

Upload the mg_cfg here as an attachment please. Do not paste it, attach it. There is nothing personal in it.

Ensure DHCP is enabled. Power off receiver and router.

Leave router off for 5mins. Power on router. Once fully booted power on the receiver.

Check the IP address.

If still having an issue re-flash whatever image you are using.

Try Menu>System>Network>Device Setup>Adapter Settings . In user interface scroll down to IP address and change the address to what it was before press green to save . That might work .

i really don't know how the mg config file would break the connection to the router.

Hi Bazzer
Sorry no it didn't work

 

[Bazzer]

i really don't know how the mg config file would break the connection to the router.

I don't think it does , I flashed to 009 and my router changed the ip address of my Mutant so I had to change it back to what it was before I flashed. Don't know why because it has never done it before but that is the way I got round it in post 7.

From what I understand the file causes you to DDOS yourself and has been the cause of many internet connection problems including my own.

@Billy
That config file is fine. Thanks.

@2stein
Mgcamd has an option to send logs to a device.
There are some config files floating around that have either of these lines included
L: { 02 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log
L: { 03 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log

This results in the receiver flooding your network trying to connect to the IP address listed. This then causes a DDOS attack on your network.

Hi Bazzer
Sorry no it didn't work

Try disabling your DHCP then try it again

 

[Billynomates]

Hi Sicilian
just tried that and no luck
haven't tried the re-flash yet though

thanks

but DHCP means that the router could assign a different ip address every time the box connects to the router... so this is nothing bad, and it actually doesn't matter which ip address the box has (if they are in the same subnet) unless you assign external ports.

No sorry, no luck again

To be honest @2stein I am no whizz kid with all this just try to fix things if they go wrong and to be honest it is the first time it has ever done this after a flash. When I checked my ip address on the Mutant it was the same address has my commie that's why I changed it in network settings with DHCP disabled and now everything works fine

 

[Bazzer]

No sorry, no luck again

Did you disable the DHCP first then change the settings has I posted
