sorry for my delayed response....still does not work...

bridge is connected now with that method as it has my sky router details on it...

but still unconfirmed ip address

i have one worry that the cable im using isnt a crossover...how can i tell?

look on both ends of the cable and see are the colours lined up the same each end. If they are its not crossover.

sorry for wasting your time.

why does these network things need crossover anwyay?!!

Not a waste off time mate but your nearly there, I would return the vonets unit as it must be faulty. I have used a few of them and they seem ok. The way you are connecting now I used as temporary method while waiting on a bit off kit to arrive. Crossover is used when connecting 2 devices directly as opposed to a switch or a hub/router etc crossover cables reverses the transmit and receive signals.

sorry i have been away, i was not ignoring you!
im back now and i have the cross over cable!

plugged cable in...

test shows still no pick up ip address :-(

pissed.

I know its a pain but go through cuebase instructions again but now using the xover cable if still no good the as cuebase says return the vonets as it must be faulty
