Post subject: | Network Problems after Autoinstall |
hello, i already searched the forum for a clue and found none... ![]() my problem is, when i switch on my newly installed knoppmythbox i cannot acces the internet from other computers connected to the (hardware-)router and cannot acces the knoppmythbox via ssh. my network environment is a workstation, a notebook, a netgear router and just added an epia based knoppmythbox. i did the autoinstallation and it seemed to work alright, then i tried to acces the knoppmythbox via ssh, to make the modifications listed in http://knoppmythwiki.homelinux.org/index.php?page=EpiaMotherboards. in putty i just got network errors and my internet connection is lost. the computers in my network all get their ip adresses via dhcp, the knoppmythbox however is assigend a special ip address in the router so that i can access the box from the internet (in the future). as already said, the knoppmythbox is based on an epia m1000b mainboard, a pvr 350 tuner card is used and the knoppmyth version is r4v4... where did i go wrong? any help would be appreciated since i'm quite new to linux. greetings, holzauto |

well why don't you tell us what the settings you gave the knoppmyth box are. It shouldn't hurt anything to tell us since it should be on a private network anyways. something like you describe could happen if you set the network settings wrong on the knoppmyth box. |

Any chance the switch is freaking out when the knoppmythbox is both connected and powered on? I've seen some switches "dislike" having all their ports filled and/or the ethernet chipsets of one of the connected computers to the point that they fail when that machine is both connected and turned on. -brendan |

This may be basic, but did you accidentally duplicate the IP address of your router on your Myth box? |

hey snapper, that was it... in the myth configuration it said ip 127.0.0.1 and in my router i gave it the ip 192.168.0.5, after setting the ip address in the myth box to 192.168.0.5 it works.. ![]() but now i encounter another problem, when i startup my mythbox without a keyboard attached, it halts when loading linux at the point where the startupscript says something about ptys .. ![]() greetings, holzauto |

sorry at this point this is a known issue, and there is no known workaround. |

Go get one of these Lite-On wireless keyboards from NewEgg. It's a great alternative, since we have to have a keyboard anyway. I use the IR receiver and a programmable remote to control my system, saving myself from learing about LIRC. Plus, for those rare instances when I need a keyboard and mouse to restart the frontend or something, I can just pull it out and go. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe ... 114&depa=1 |
