DHCP issue

Hi,

I’m having an issue configuring the network interface for DHCP on my X5. When I set it up for “auto” the display show an IP Address of 0.0.0.0 and it does not respond on either http or telnet. However if I look at my DHCP server I see that it has been assigned an IP address and the host name is recorded.

If I switch to fixed IP address everything works fine. Since it successfully register with DHCP it is puzzling why the firmware does not recognizes that it has acquired an IP address.

All that is connected to the X5 (Uberclock) is the display adapter (Robotseed), a reprap discount LCD and power supply (USB not connected). I also loaded the latest edge build to see if that made any difference. No change.

Here are the config file settings with the working fixed IP setting commented out.

[[code]]

  1. network settings

network.enable true # enable the ethernet network services
network.hostname print3d # host name
network.webserver.enable true # enable the webserver
network.telnet.enable true # enable the telnet server
network.ip_address auto # use dhcp to get ip address

  1. uncomment the 3 below to manually setup ip address

#network.ip_address 192.168.1.17 # the IP address
#network.ip_mask 255.255.255.0 # the ip mask
#network.ip_gateway 192.168.1.1 # the gateway address
#network.mac_override xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx # override the mac address, only do this if you have a conflict

Well that’s a new one.

Would you happen to have another router you can test this on ?

I think I can dig out an old one and try it this weekend.

I have a similar issue.
I enabled internet access the same way, but neither automatic or static ip addresses work.

I’ve tried it with different routers but it won’t change the result.
I can connect via usb and use all the axes via pronterface, it works, but ethernet doesn’t.
If I use net/netstat, I get:

> @net
SENDING:net
IP Addr: 0.0.32.0
IP GW: 0.0.0.0
IP mask: 0.0.0.0

If I assign a static address, it however does not work better.
When I ping the address, it just says that the host is not reachable.

My ip_gateway was wrong when setting a static address.
Now the static version works, but the dynamic dhcp-based assignment does not work.
Though for me, that’s sufficient.

I have pretty much the same problem. dhcp does not work but Static works. I even tried if it works with true / dhcp instead of auto but it is not working at all.

Firmware update did not work either.

Is there a way to fix that ?
