vu+control centre

[wildrover]

Is it possible for me to load vu+control centre with usb as i have not got a hard drive fitted.If so how do i load with usb.

It installs on your pc not your VU+

its ftp software for moving files to and from your VU+ from your pc mate an essential tool for your VU+

that is one of its functions, but only one of many

telnet, channel lists , all sorts

but its not installed on the vu which is what moonbug meant , it is run as a stand alone tool on a pc from the pc hdd or even from a usb stick plugged into the pc

[wildrover]

I have got VU+control centre on my pc but will no connect. I have entered my ip address, username root, password was left blank, ports were 80 21 23. I was at it all day yesterday and today as i had the same problem not connecting on dcc and FileZilla. I checked both lans connecting on UNO. PC is connecting to wi fi router ok.Router is connected to uno via cable lead. Any thoughts ?

yes mate was more of a reply/advice to OP, good tool

wildrover ,can you ping you vu+ from your PC mate ,press start>run>type cmd in little box >then when little black command box pops up type in ping 192.168.0.xx or whatever your vu+ ip is (apologies if you know how to ping)

[wildrover]

No idea how to ping

[simon 2003]

follow the instructions above mate ,i reckon you are not putting in the correct ip addy into vucc, you on windows 7 ?

[wildrover]

I am on windows7. Filled in black box as requested. Nothing happened.

[echelon]

suggest you check your lan setup on the image on your box and get it to test the network to ensure it has a local ip address from your router

once you know what that local ip address is you should be able to ping it from the command prompt in win7

its also the same ip address used in dcc or vucc too

I have set my boxes to fixed ip addresses like 192.168.0.99 or similar (example only)

so depending on your router ip addy and its ip range will depend what your box and its ip actually is

dhcp on will mean the router gives the box an ip, dhcp off means you assign your own ip

typing ipconfig into the command prompt will tell you the router ip addy and your pc or laptop ip addy

it has too work mate !!! type in ping 192.168.0.xx ,,,,,,,,,,,xx is your vu+ ip addy ,if vu+ is on your LAN it will give you reply from 192.168.0.xx 5 times ,if not it will say destination host unreachable

I checked both lans connecting on UNO. PC is connecting to wi fi router ok.Router is connected to uno via cable lead.

"both lans connecting to uno" what do you mean by that mate,,,

[wildrover]

2 lan connections showing for ethernet network interface on bh network adapter. When i enter network browser it says 127.0.0.1(vuuno) . ip is showing as 127.0.0.1.

[wildrover]

Just had thought. I have not got wi fi installed on my uno. My ethernet cable is connected from router to uno. My pc is connected to router by wi fi. Should ethernet cable be connected direct from pc to uno.

Hi wildrover,

You need to enter (root) but don't leave
Password, Enter (dreambox) into Password.

Hi wildrover,

Your setup is OK, same as I have.
Wifi to router Ethernet to Uno.

Try the Channel settings APP.
Dreamset 235 x 32.
That FTPs the latest Channel list
to your Uno.
When Installed all her will
walk you through Setup.

127.0.0.1 is not a standard ip address from a router

192.168.0.1 is one of several standard router addresses, so 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.0.3 are standard ip addresses for pc or boxes

alternatives for a router can be say 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.254 or similar

you will notice by now that 192.168x.xx is the common theme, and the subnet is usually 255.255.255.000

I already told you in post #10 to type ipconfig into the command prompt to find out your pc and router ip addresses, and your box should be something similar. no point in you asking for help if you dont read the answers !

never had an uno but all my boxes are connected to my netgear router using ethernet cables and have similar ip addresses to the above

post back with your router ip address (host) and your laptop ip address (client)

sound simmeler to a problem i have
i can ping my box and get a reply
but i cant ftp to it or connect with dcc or vucc

but if install the image again i can then use dcc or vucc and can then ftp to me box again then try again next day no connection again

uno and black hole latest
straing one

[echelon]

if dhcp is on then the router assigns an ip based on the next available ip after the routers own base ip which can change daily

this is why members should fix their boxes to a fixed ip away from the basic early ones

so if your router is 192.168.0.1 , use something like 192.168.0.20 for your first box , 192.168.0.30 for your next box etc

and leave 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.19 for wifi devices like smartphones and laptops and consoles
