Title: DSM 510 - IP problem
Post by: Geddy on February 10, 2010, 04:30:50 AM

I have a DSM-510 wired connected to my network.  All was fine until last week I had to change my Router due to changing broad band suppliers.

Everything on the network works fine, PC, Mac, Laptop, Xbox360 and PS3 apart from the DSM-510 which gets a 169:xxx:xxx:xxx IP address.

I'm not an expert on these things but can follow steps to correct this but can't find a solution anywhere.  Tried rebooting everything, releasing/renewing IP address etc etc and all to no avail.

Thanks for any help.

Try setting it static. Goto Options < Network settings, Select Wired LAN setting if wired and input something within your network IP address range.  If your PC is something like 192.168.0.100 set the DSM-510 to 192.168.0.50. Or if you PC is something like 192.168.1.100 put the DSM-510 at something like 192.168.1.50

Thanks for the help it turned out to be a faulty 'connection' between the unit and the router.  Phew :D
