My new toy arrived today and I have flashed with nabilo bh 12. I am trying to get it to connect via ethernet but no joy. If I type the box's ip addy into my pc browser I get nothing. If I test network on the dm800 it comes back with unconfirmed ip address and if I ping the box's ip addy from pc I get host unreachable.

Am I doing something wrong or is the ethernet port on my box fooked?
 
unconfirmed ip, you need to restart your box and router thats presuming you have it set up right in the first place, set it to dchp and also set it to allow in your router if you have not already and your router requires that.

dont worry about setting to dchp as in your router settings you should have ip reservation, just give it a valid ip from your router and it will use that ip from then on.

sounds like a simple setup problem rather than a knackered box.
 
Cheers for reply m8. It seems to be working now. dunno why but dont care as playing with my new toy:Hit:
 
Happened to me also at the weekend.
Had to do an OS reboot and that fixed it.
