Hello All.

Does anybody have any ideas please.

I have been sending my films to the Humax HDR wirelessly without problems via Raydon's Media software. Suddenly today the software cannot find the Humax. I have checked everything SFAIK and reflashed the .HDF file. The strange thing is Filezilla cannot see it either. Stranger still, I can read from it on the PC ie watch programmes that have been recorded.

I have rebooted the HDR and the PC, but nothing changes.

Thanks for your anticipated help

Does it make any difference whether the HDR is manually powered on or standby recording?

I ask this because I have found that my Twonky Server won't start if I switch the HDR on but will quite happily work when the HDR switches itself on for standby recording.

Samba shares, SSH and FTP access are all working fine though regardless of whether I power up the HDR or whether it is in standby recording.

ray-don offers some hints over here:

unfortunately they haven't helped me solve my problem - I'm even more perplexed!

I have solved the problem, but I dont know why it occured. If anybody could explain why the following happened I would be very Grateful.

The Humax HDR IP address had changed from ***.***.*.65 to ***.***.*.71. Why did this change happen and who would change it?

Thank you to Richard for the previous reply

If the setting is set to DHCP rather than manual your router will have issued a different IP adress automatically. Set a manual address above the range allocated on your router to dhcp.

Thanks Graham

Are you saying that if my Router address is ***.***.**.254 and my Humax address is ***.***.*.71, I should manually change the Humax address to a number greater than 254? Or have I completely misunderstood?

Thanks again

Your router address will be something like 192.168.1.1.. It will assign IP addresses in the range 192.168.1.2-254.

BY default my router only uses addresses up to 50 for dhcp (you can change the number). My HD FOX T2 manually uses 192.168.1.220 which being above 50 is never altered by the router.

How do you find the router default setting for dhcp? How do you change that number? I just tried on the Network menu and I can only find a way to change the address.

Thanks

Robert

On mine I just enter the router address into IE9 and enter the router password. It's one of the router options not the boxes.

Yes this is normally with DHCP, if for example, the lease on the IP address expires. If you would like to make it static then the easy way is to make an address reservation on your router for the HDR's mac address. - the HDR will appears as a device without a name on most routers.

The following Ip address:ranges are non-routable
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
They are used by private networks all over the world and there is not need to hide them

When you re-flashed the .hdf did you reinstall the software?
If so it is possible that you installed both ftp servers ?
Can you tell us exactly what message FileZilla shows in the top left window.

When you say you can read from it - are you looking at a samba shared drive or via media served by Twonly/MediaTomb?
