No Service/Scrambled Server Port 64.71.255.198
Someone please help.
I have the same problems as others since last Wednesday and cannot get a picture using iHub on Sv8K. I have read all the stickies (very helpful) and tried all suggetions but no luck. I tried resetting box and sysclean. I am using my laptop as a wireless bridge and this worked great before with linksys router.
Here's what weird.
I use all the suggested setup info including server port 77.93.75.89 but when the box connects to server it always changes to 64.71.255.198
Does anyone get a picture with this server port setting?

Anyone?

I can tell you this much I was able to ping that server 64.71.255.198 where as I wasn't able to ping 77.93.75.89. Which tells me at least 64.71.255.198 IS online...and you should be able to connect to it for all intents and purposes. Make sure you don't have an I.P conflict going on....

I thought you can only ping IP addresses that are on your own Network???
svftaiks.com has an IP address of 77.93.75.89 so say my settings, and I would think everyone elses Server IP address is the same.
If you go to CMD Prompt and type in telnet 64.71.255.198 1920 your connection will fail, try it.
Then type in telnet 77.93.75.89 1920 and if you get a BLACK screen the server is up as it is now.
So, I deduce from that, that the correct SERVER IP address is 77.93.75.89 and not 64.71.255.198.
Does your LOCAL IP address or any of the other IP ADRESSES in the Ihub settings start with 64, other than the SERVER IP??

[iHubbed]

local ip 192.168.1.103
I may be having an ip conflct but don't know how to fix it.

[zekester]

Try using the Ihub sticky on resetting the Ihub.
http://www.abadss.com/forum/1032-son...-internet.html
In doing that process, if all the 000 don't get filled in just put them in manually. The important one is the Server IP, that one should get filled in using the above link.

[zekester]

No, that's good(that's provided by the router). Have you tried the CDM Prompt?? Did your screen go Blank??

Nope sorry totally incorrect. You can ping ANY server you want you can also tracert ANY server you want. I don't run IKS so I don't know what the svftaiks.com server is I was merely posting that if the i.p was in fact 64.71.255.198 that it was online.....I did however run a tracert on it and also pinged Yahoo for you to prove my point.

[emsudos]

Now back to the issue at hand....you think you may have an i.p issue? How many computers do you have running and or game boxes or voip devices? If its just a computer or two go to run on the computer(s) and type in cmd that will open a dos box. Type in ipconfig /all just as I have it here. Look and make sure that the i.p 192.168.1.103 is not duplicated on any of the computers. If it is then you have an i.p conflict.....

[zekester]

I'm learning . Your screen shots though don't show anything related to 64.71.255.198 or am I missing something?? From the looks of screen shot #1 you Pinged 77.93.75.89 and screen shot #2 was yahoo.
My point was the address 64.71.255.198 is not the Server Address for the IHUB server. It may be a valid address but it's not svftaiks.com

You are kind of correct. I did not include a pic of me pinging 64.71.255.198. I did include it here. The first pic is a "tracert"...which is different then a "ping". Notice after the "tracert www.svftaiks.com" command it lists an i.p....that is the i.p of that server. So there is no doubt in my mind that the server is definitely 77.93.75.89. I was merely posting the tracert and the pinging of the yahoo server to show that you can ping ANY server or tracert ANY server. Now I forgot to mention I suppose that if they had ping turned off it wouldn't work...as far as the pinging goes.

The IP address 64.71.255.198 belongs to Roger's cable customer and is not the Ihub servers. From my research IP address 77.93.75.89 definitely belongs to Sonicview Ihub Servers and doesn't respond to pings. It also has a strict firewall, which is great fun to play with at work. Tracert shows the what path data takes to travel from your computer to the server. Port 1920 is the port the Ihub talks to the Ihub server.

I think 64.71.255.198 is your IP address. Like emsudos said type: ipconfig /all in cmd to find your IP address.

[iHubbed]

Turns out the 64. is the IC I'm using...silly me. It still doesn't explain why I get kicked off 77.93.75.89 so I think there is some kind of conflict with the server and my network card because it always end up unplugged. Here's my ip info:

Any help would be appreciated.

Try changing your DNS to an open DNS of 208.67.222.222. Sometimes ISP's have problems with their DNS. 208.67.222.222 is an open and free DNS and anyone can use it....see if that makes a difference. Everything else looks good....

Did you also check to make sure the i.p of 192.168.1.106 is not duplicated on any other computers or devices on your network?

[iHubbed]

Tried your suggestion. Still no pic. Everytime a make a change and then hit apply my network cable becomes unplugged on my wireless bridge and I get kicked bCK to my IC. (64...) This is very frustrating. It was working just fine last week.

[zekester]

Don't lose faith yet.
I wouldn't make too many changes. That could put it beyond fix/adjusting/repairing, not exactly sure of the word I'm looking for.
But, if everything is as it was last week, something must have changed. Have you done a Factory Default in the last week?? Have you reset the Ihub to all 00000 etc etc?? It can't be the bin, otherwise everyone else should have similar/related issues, I assume.
It's usually the smallest of things. Have you checked your User Priority, to make sure it's on IKS or at least BOTH. Cause if you've done a factory Default, that may have changed.
My wife sat on the remote once and changed something, took me about an hour to figure that one out.
.
Also, Do you have the Ihub connected directly to your laptop, via wireless bridge, to your rogers cable modem??

It sounds like its something in your bridge settings. I've never bridged an internet connection however so I can't be much help. I've networked 2 desktops, a laptop, a gaming system and a voip device together on my router.....but never bridged a connection. It has to be something in that setting.....

Maybe someone that is more knowledgeable in "bridging" an internet connection will jump in. Good luck!!

[sump]

couple things here ...

from the beginning so you have a wire coning in the house from your cable/isp .. and it goes to what first ? exact name of device

then at some point you have a linksys router ... what model

back ground ..

first there are 2 networks you are dealing with WAN & LAN

wan .. wide area network is the public internet side of the router
lan .. local area network with non routable ip address

for the purpose here most routers ( homeowner ) are setup with DHCP and give out ip address automatically to the computers and the like on the LAN side of ..
192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS is gotten from the isp ( here in this thread the isp is giving 64.71.255.198 as the DNS server )

DNS .. domain name server
what dns does is it takes the "freindly" name Yahoo! and converts it to an ip address and then it locates that server all in a split second. If you could remember the ip address of a website you do not need DNS, but we can't

in the example posted by "emsodus" you can actually see the process of DNS in action when either pinging or tracert a WWW name it converts it to an IP adress then finishes the comand using the IP address. just like your browser does.
browsers use Port 80 which is "http" traffic hence in your browser http:// www.server name

some admins turn off .. the pinging function .. to there server, i think if i remember it is ICMP, so some thing u cannot ping

so anyway there are couple things ... like using a gaming access point there are extra setups to allow certain ports to open and close as there are about 5,000. some homeowner routers/cable modems this must be enabled.

if you can give us an exact picture of what epuiment you have and in what order it would we can help easier

thanks .. sorry for being long winded ..

Same here, don't know anyone running a bridge connection.
And I've never set one up on my Laptop. Main PC, modem/router, 4 other laptops accessing the LAN, Ihub, PS3 and stuff.

I run a bridged network between my Linksys 310N and my Linksys 300N (ddwrt). What Ihubbed is doing is not bridging routers but instead he is bridging connection with his computer. Here is a screenshot of what he is doing. Compare it to his ipconfig output.

the linksys wrt 310n and the wrt300N are both routers , so it is not bridging it is cascading.
routers work @ the Layer 3 in the OSI model
switches and bridging work @ layer 2

not exactly sure why you would need to spend the extra $ on 2 routers.

all that is needed is One wireless router the 300N is good one and i use it, then an "access" point .. i use a gaming one, you can use a print server, anything that is going to your non wireless device (STB, XBOX, PRINTER) to communicate with your wireless router to access the network resourses, internet, files, other computers on the lan, printer sharing without have the computer on.

I still would like to know all the equipment in the original post ..

the ihub is just a relitively simple device to change a serial port to an ethernet port hence then using that type of communication
