880167 2010-04-26 09:59:00 Hi I got my NETCOMM NB6PLUS4Wn ADSL2+ today,not much fun configuring it.I have no idea how I got it to work,but most of my bits are now connected except my WDLIVE which is not connecting.I have it connected directly via a cable,but it can not connect.How can I get it to connect to the network.

cheers

880168 2010-04-26 11:13:00 Is it configured with a static IP and the previous router was using an IP range that is different to the one you've got in place now? WarNox (8772)
880169 2010-04-26 11:29:00 Reset your WDTV Live to factory defaults and it will "just work" :) Chilling_Silence (9)
880170 2010-04-26 11:31:00 Hi WarNox,
I haven't a clue to be honest.The new router is as it came out of the box and the old router just picked up and worked.So I can't answer your question.Sorry.

880171 2010-04-26 12:10:00 Basically it's still looking for the old router

Pull the power from the back of the WDTV Live, give it a few seconds then plug it in again. It keeps it's IP Addresses between reboots from what I understand, so using the Power button on the remote wont solve it.

880172 2010-04-26 21:46:00 Hi,
Thanks for the replies.I have removed the cable and reset to factory settings to no avail.It tries to connect but gives me a message that it has been unable to obtain an IP address.
So far the new router has performed well and speeds have increased,but at the expense of my WDLIVE. :badpc:

cheers

880173 2010-04-26 21:58:00 In the NB6Plus4Wn I would make sure that you have set the DHCP Server as "On" and given it a good 20-odd addresses to lease out. Chilling_Silence (9)
880174 2010-04-27 01:47:00 Which port on the NETCOMM did you plug it into? I assume its one of the yellow ones.

By default the DHCP should be turned on so yeah just check the leases.
