No matter what Vix 2.4 IMG build I use, I'm always losing connection from the internet, using that 1channel E2 streaming plugin, is quite an impossible task. can anyone offer any suggestions?

are you hardwired straight to router, or using homeplugs etc?

Ethernet straight to Router m8, say if I was to unplug the Ethernet cable and plug it into the laptop it will work straight away.

I presume you have tried an earlier image to double check it is the image thats causing the problem?

Can you go into the network settings and check their ok

What happens wiz is the internet picks and chooses when it works and when it doesn't, if I was to go into test internet connection, local gets a X IP address gets an X and name server gets a X. So I can't even FTP into the box.

Haven't tried an earlier IMG for a while although, when I was using VIX 2.3 can't remember having this problem

Process of elimination mate.. try an earlier image and then reflash to the image your using now... I have used 2.4 and had a lot of issues so perhaps it is that

What a pain in the ass though, but I'll give it a go

Cheers

strange, i've 2.4 on and never had any network problems. Can you get into your routers admin page and assign it a diff address e.g. 192.168.0.104 and then reboot everything and see if that makes a difference?

How long is the cable between the duo and the router? Should only be a problem if the cable is really long and I mention it as I had similar problems with my sons laptop which is at the end of a 25m run of cable. For me it turned out to be that the 3com 1gb switch I had didn't have the oomph to power the long network cables, I swapped out the switch for a Dell managed switch and he's never had any problem since with both his 25m lines that run to his room.

It was a bit of an arse clench moment TBH as the cables were run and buried in the walls as part of decorating his room and when they wouldn't work reliably I was like WTF, both can't be faulty can they?

What the strangest thing! I was using Mgcamd 1.38, and since I've stopped using it, everything has been fine not once had internet disconnect.
