vu+duo reset

[kris07]

I cant connect to my box through FTP programs, if i reset my box and flash it with a new image will this turn all settings back to default, enabling me to connect to the box again?

Thanks

Yes, if using vix password is blank

other images you will need to find out.

Did you select the right port when connecting?

Thanks for the reply Stanman, yes i had all the same settings set up from last time i used my FTP but it would not connect to my box. After about 6 hours of searching the net i descovered that it was my DHCP and it needed to be disabled. I did this and hey ho connected straight away!! Guess you eed a static IP when connecting to he Vu+duo.

So simple when you know how!!

No you don't it could have been your IP changed from last time

DHCP will allocate a new IP address to a device if it's not connected when the lease time is over. It is better to allocate a fixed IP address to your devices in the router settings if you access your devices by IP addresses rather than by name.

I have my receiver use DHCP, but I have it connected to a router that uses NAT, and I have reserved a fixed IP from the router's DHCP server address space for the receiver.
