Bohh Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I had this happen to me. Are you plugging it in to a router? If so the DHCP on the router is most likely giving the FON a different IP address. As I understand it the FON will only use the IP you assign if no other DHCP server is available. If your router shows what clients are connected to it you can use that to view what the IP might be. Or use an IP scanner and scan the network. Hope that's helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was but it wasn't set up with DHCP. I set it up as a DHCP server and i was able to connect to the fon. I tried it again and i am unable to connect the fon :( The missle light is on steady and flashes every know and then. What does that mean? I go the the DHCP ip table and i can't see the Fon and can't find it with nmap. I am using the range 10.0.0.1 ->1.0.0.254 is that okay? any suggestions of hoe to get it too work. Initially the wifi worked on it and now i noticed that the Pinaple SSID is no longer available.... I am having such bad luck with this :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you set it for a static IP then try to connect to it on that and see what happens, if you set DHCP run a DHCP server on whatever machine the Fon is connected to and see if it gives an IP. The mistake some people are making is to have a DHCP server running on their router but then plugging the Fon into their PC not the router. The PC isn't running a DHCP server so no addresses get through to the Fon. You mention a 10. address (and a 1. but I assume this is a typo). Why would you think that the Fon is on 10. something?
