Draco Meta Ethernet no longer working

[freakdave]

Anyone have a problem with the ethernet. It definately was working at first. Just plugged in the ethernet cable and turned on ethernet in the settings. But now it is not getting a connection and ip address at all.

I plugged the cable into a notebook and it was fine no problems. Connect back to the draco and again no ethernet.

1. Ensure that DHCP is enabled and it doesnt think you are manually defining settings
2. Try a new cat5/6 cable
3. Reflash FW
4. Return box

Thanks. Think was just my router acting up. Odd. Finally after trying everything I rebooted the router and I now get an ip address.

That's why I never use DHCP but static IP (worst case a mix of both e.g. x.y.z.002 - x.y.z.100 for DHCP and so I can use x.y.z.101 - x.y.z.254 for static IP)...

Hadn't had a problem yet once switching to a static ip and at the same time I can now use those android remote apps like Yatse as a remote which is great in the home theatre when the lights are all off. Always find those keyboard air mouse remotes pretty useless when I can't see the keys in the dark.
