So, I spent another couple hours this afternoon trying to update to current firmware but cannot set static IP.  Has anyone successfully set static ip w/ firmware version 2.02.00?

I decided the firmware update was necessary when I went to obtain recorded footage only to find my HD became full/NVR stopped recording on 17 Dec.  I spent numerous hours attempting to update to current firmware but couldn't using the manual method via USB and firmware 2.02.00.  http://support.dlink.com/FAQView.aspx?f=ST1P9C0jMxkTqMSBvzlquA%3d%3d  This resulted in continual NVR reboots.  I finally updated via USB to the previous firmware version: 2.00.11.  From there, I update through the GUI to the current firmware.

I attempted to set a static IP address--the same one I previously used and confirmed available after looking at router connected list.  This resulted in boot loop.  I went through above process to get stable OS and then tried a different static IP that has never been used with same results--continual system reboot.

I settled on leaving the IP as dynaic, which doesn't make it the easiest for remote access nor local shortcuts. 

So, has anyone been able to successfully set static IP address w/ 2.02.00?

I will be updating my other NVR tomorrow and will report back on firmware update...but I won't be trying to set static IP.  I believe right now that if I set my IP to dynamic I will be able to update via GUI w/o issues...

What browser are you using to manage the DNR?

[grimloktt]

The best browser by far is IE.

Do you get the same problem trying to set a static IP address using FF?
What IP address are you attempting to use for a static?

[grimloktt]

FF sucks  for Dlink. I use it for everything else but it always is freezing when accessing cameras or nvrs.

Posting my ip address isn't safe--right?  It's at the top end of the router range with a 5 digit port number. I had no issue setting static ip with old firmware....

[FurryNutz]

I've never had a problem w FF on D-Link for me.

No you can post your LAN side IP address here, 192.168.?.?

It's the WAN side IP address on the router that you shouldn't post. 

[grimloktt]

Thnx for trying to help but I believe it's an issue with the firmware...

[FurryNutz]

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.

[grimloktt]

Thnx but I'm not wasting more time on Dlink. I'll just send them a trouble ticket so they can Repair it in the next build--unless somebody comes online and says they don't have issues with the same setup.

[FurryNutz]

Let us know how it goes.

Good Luck.

Good news.  For my other DNR-202L I changed the network to dynamic first then updated the firmware through the GUI.  The entire process took 30 seconds and everything worked perfectly.

I just wish the static address worked.

FurryNutz; I think your name is comical.  Anyways, it appears you have communication w/ D-Link. Could you pass my concern along?

P.S. The IP I use in the house is 172.16.0.XXX

[FurryNutz]

Can you post a screen shot of the place where you normal enter in a static IP address?

I'm out of town but I believe I was in the camera's network settings.

And the input boxes are grayed out or there isn't a box to enter in a static IP address at all?

I can enter it but after saving static iP address it starts a boot loop.
