I have a new network device. An Extron DVS 304 to be precise.
I want to access the web page by IP. The IP address is 192.168.254.254 255.255.0.0
my network is 192.168.0.* 255.255.255.0
When I type in the IP 192.168.254.254 firefox takes about 5 mins then never loads the page and says The connection has timed out.
I tried resetting the unit.
I tried setting my PC to 192.168.254.1 255.255.0.0
Can anyone give me a pointer as to what I am doing wrong?
First, set your PC back how it was so it works as it used to. Then realize that any device on your net has to have an address that is compatible with the rest of your net. So since your PC is in the range 192.168.0.* then your new Extron unit needs to be in that range too. So open its user manual and read it. Specifically, go to page 2-17 and read the section on IP configuration. Follow the instructions to give the device a suitable unique address in the 192.168.0.* range. Then type that address into the browser on your PC. Simples. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
