Hi guys, not sure if this is in the right place, please tell me if its wrong.
in my room i have a pc, a media center and a moded xbox. to transfer files between them i have set tje xbox and the media center to a static ip so i can use ftp software to transfer files between them. when i have the media center powerd up or my xbox my modem will go offline (ambit 256) my upstream and downstream lights will go off and my ethernet light will flash. is this the effect of having 2 static ip's on my router, my pc is not static.. any help guys..??

that shouldnt happen, lol.

i'd say it was gremlins.

it shouldnt make any difference but you've not set any of the three devices to the same ip as the modem have you?

is it a wireless router?

half of my devices on my network are static, some of them are assigned by dhcp. you can have as many as you want. (i've got switches and access points alover the house)

no m8, none of the ip's are the same as my modem, these gremlins must be watching what im doing cos when i put my xbox on the modem goes down, weird.

G77 · 26-01-10, 09:18 PM

well im at a lost to explain that.

is it just the xbox that makes it go off?

RORYSON · 26-01-10, 09:21 PM

just guesing, could it be a coincidence that when i turn on the xbox is at the same time my modem goes down for a clash of macs in the wan, dont know what happens when there is a clash?

G77 · 26-01-10, 09:35 PM

turn the modem and xbox off, plug xbox straight into modem, turn them on, let us know what happens then i.e. do you get net on xbox

RORYSON · 26-01-10, 09:37 PM

xbox nic not spoofed so i shouldnt really connect to modem should i?

G77 · 26-01-10, 09:38 PM

has it been used directly on a subbed?

RORYSON · 26-01-10, 10:44 PM

no m8 it hasnt, the modem went down a little while with only my pc going so i think it is a mac clash. just a coincidence with timeings i guess. are the symptons i spoke of earlier the same as a mac clash m8?

not really, it would boot you off more regularly than that.

might be a signal issue which is brought on by bandwith demand?

i know one of my modems drops off when i unplug the coax from the v+ downstairs.

have a look at the signal page and let us know what that says
