no ip config on installation menu - ABA DSS

laxlove6 · June 15th, 2009

I had the ihub working a few days ago and now i've lost the ip config option on the installation menu. i have no idea how this happen and now can't get the ihub to do anything? any suggestions? i've done factory default -> cleaner file > newest ihub file and still get no option for ip config on my premier

You need to do a hard reboot after you plug the hub in

laxlove6 · June 15th, 2009

a hard reboot is just the switch at the back of the receiver? if so done that

Put in the January file see if it works on N2. If it does, then reload the latest Ihub file, and set up the Ihub again. But don't do a Factory default unless you enjoy redoing the STB sat settings.

alright thx for the tips

here's what worked for me

factory default
hard reboot to usb (ok button held down on front of receiver)
load cleaner file - hard reboot to usb again (same as above)
load jan. file - hard reboot to usb again(same as above)
load lastest ihub file and hard reboot with ihub connected

this allowed me to see the ip config option on the menu

just did a hard reboot and lost the ip config option again. go figure??

**creativegenius** · June 15th, 2009

After you set up all of the data for the iHub are you hitting APPLY?

ya i'm sure i did because i also set all the static numbers to 000000's

laxlove6 · June 16th, 2009

is there any way to set the ihub back to its original state? spent all day trying to fix this thing

Kreag · June 16th, 2009

Bump...
I'm having the same trouble. Brand new ihub, saw it work once.. never again.. LOTS of troubleshooting already.

Kreag · June 16th, 2009

You know.. come to think of it, when I first connected the ihub, everything was fine until I clicked apply on that menu. I never saw it again. Do you think the receiver tried to write some config info to the ihub and crashed? Maybe that bricked the ihub?

laxlove6 · June 16th, 2009

I've found by loading the cleaner file then the latest ihub file through the PVR usb drive process I can get the ip config menu to come on right after the reciever auto reboots after loading the ihub file

but with that i get a gray screen with the wrong resolution that can't be fix with the yellow button trick. i think the files aren't good for my receiver.

i think i'm just going to wait for a new file and hopefully it will correct all of this.

Kreag · June 16th, 2009

Interesting.. I've noticed that too. When it comes up with the grey (sometimes scrolling) screen, I have to hard reboot once or twice and it comes back just fine. That being said, yes, the yellow button, up/left trick doesn't work.
However, when I do that, I still don't get the IPConfig menu item.

Update:
Going nowhere FAST!

That **** menu refuses to come back regardless what I do. I'm pretty sure I've done everything imagineable to the receiver/dongle and in every way possible. Short of a sledge hammer.

Here is what to do:

Turn off your LNB power (via the remote and on-screen menu)

Disconnect the co-ax feeding the receiver.

Reboot to usb (ok button held down on front of receiver)

Using a USB stick, load:

1) The 'cleaner file' for your unit - hard reboot to usb again (same as above)
2) Load the Jan 09, 2009 file - hard reboot to usb again (same as above)
3) load lastest ihub file and hard reboot with ihub connected

Configure your ihub settings.

Reconnect co-ax feeding the receiver

Turn on LNB power

Configure your ANT settings and do a scan

Thanks for trying! Yep, did that.. many different ways.
The force method, and via usb.

laxlove6 · June 16th, 2009

this method atleast got me to see the ip config menu with a normal screen!!

Disconnect the co-ax feeding the receiver and ihub

Hard re-boot

Go into the PVR usb settings

Then Load

1) The 'cleaner file' for your Unit - push ok and let it re-boot
2) Load the Jan 09, 2009 file - push ok and let it reboot
3) load lastest ihub file then STOP - connect the ihub - push ok and let it re-boot

it should allow you to see a normal screen and ip config menu

Configure your ihub settings.

Reconnect co-ax feeding the receiver

laxlove6 · June 16th, 2009

then receiver did a reboot by itself and lost ip config again

starting to think it has to do with the router/ip connection that it keeps loosing connectivity

**tb1971** · June 16th, 2009

Hard boot your receiver again and tell me if you get a message that says ihub adapter connected.
