Default Starview HD Mac Error

Hi all
Still having massive problems with my SVHD combo. Ive tried pretty much everything i started back at the begining and flashed it back to the original files, I then changed the mac address back to what it should be. i then did the usual stuff but the box just kept giving me the error(0) login failed i tried various different ways to set it up using different firmware with no luck and every now and again it would reset the mac address so i would have to start again.

Could anyone please give me any other options to try.

Many Many Thanks

Dan

hi mate,, whats it changing the mac address too? with my combo i didnt set anything, once plugged into the router everything set itself. depending on your router you might have to port forward the box to allow the ent thru, but im not so sure about that,, also setting the router for dhcp would be wise that way it can assign everything to the box as needed.
sorry didnt see any previous threads about your situation... just got back form a ban lol.

regards dave
