Hi All
I have The HD FOX T2 connected with the beta software works fine with the net work make sure that you have the latest loader and beta software. Here is the Link

The version 12 did not work with network. You need version 18
Kirit
Pressing Portal does nothing. Other than confirming the network is connected (which it now is) is there any other settings to alter ?
Hi Graham,
I would suggest that you setup an address reservation in the router or shorten the router DHCP address pool and give the STB a number outside the pool. Two years down the road one forgets these things and spend hours tracing a problem.
I see you are getting quite some flack on DS. I thought if I posted it would just go on and on.
Hi Graham,
Essentially you have 256 addresses available to you on your network - probably something like 192.168.n.0-255
In my router, I limit DHCP Server range from n.2 to n.50, which should be plenty, and I put my Static addresses on that equipment from n.200-255, which does leave a gap in the middle should I need to extend either my dynamics upwards or my statics downwards.

You can't use 255 it is the broadcast address if your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. but good advice otherwise.
Thanks all, that's one for tommorow I need to dig out the router manual (It's a Linksys by the way). Any ideas why the portal does nothing.

If you are definitely using version 1.02.18 then the portal should load, albeit some report slowly, and present you with the options I detailed earlier.
Barry thats the answer, presume 1.02.18 is a beta, the official site lists 1.01.12 as the latest. Off to get the right firmware.
One step forward and one back. Installed the beta and confirmed network access. Trouble is the wired Lan connection to the laptop now says "Unidentified network". Moved the Fox to address 250 to eliminate potential clash and confirmed it's still OK. Tried setting a manual IP address on the lan adaptor without any luck.
Any ideas ?
Checked the router DHCP was set to start at 100 with max 50 addresses increased this to 100
