I was over the moon yesterday when I successfully installed the Media and File Server Bundle onto our Foxsat HDR and managed to install the web interface. But I was surprised to discover the Fetch FTP client I often use on the Mac said 'the server could not be located' or similar. As I thought I might be missing the point, I installed first telnet_1.0_mips.opk, then TwonkyMedia. All seemed OK but I still didn't have ftp access, so I gave up for the day.
Today, it's all gone a bit wrong! Any attempt to access the Humax via a web browser produces a 'server not found' alert. I still can't access the box via an ftp client and even telnet wouldn't give me access. Also, when I used the remote to look at the box via the TV, some of the Menu items (such as signal diagnostics) were greyed out. That one resolved itself after about 30 minutes, for no reason I can fathom.
Similarly, before I started this process, I Pinged the box just to make sure it really was on the network. No prob. Today, it couldn't be found via Ping, until I tried again an or so hour later, when it was fine. (I power cycled the Humax box and re-booted my MacBook Pro but that didn't seem to be the trigger for the change.) A few hours later, I've just Pinged the Humax IP address again and it's timed out.
It's quite possible that none of this has anything to do with yesterday's install but I'm really not sure what to do now. Given that I can only access the Humax using the TV and USB port, should I put the firmware back to the way it was, then start again?
I'm really not sure what's happening here. The Mac we use as a server has been accessible throughout, so I don't think it's a router or cabling problem. All suggestions gratefully received!
