Thanks for your help - the resync didn't help but I did the factory reset and it seems to be working fine now.  Good job, so my wife can play with her brand new Galaxy S2!

Thanks again,

Mark

Hi Ridecraft

Appologies,  I would recommend as a test powering down your router and sure signal. disconnecting all PC devices from the router and powering the router back up with just the Sure signal attached (and powered up)  once this has come up I would then connect a PC to the Router and test the internet connection by performing the following on a PC :
 

• Click on Start  and select Run.
• Type CMD into the Run box and press enter/click ok.
• A black box will appear.
• In this box type tracert 212.183.133.177 press Enter.
• Paste the output of this command into your reply  along with a copy of the results from running a speed test.

Hi Simon1986

 I've just resynced your Sure Signal for you, 

.  This has completed successfully so I would suggest performing a factory reset on the Sure Signal box

To factory reset the Sure Signal box:

• Hold down the reset button until all the lights show (about 30 seconds) keeping the reset button held down.
•  Remove then re-insert the power lead.
• Once all lights display release the reset button. The Sure Signal will come online in around 1 hour.

If resynching the Sure Signal box doesn’t work, then this would indicate that your Sure Signal cannot negotiate a connection to the Vodafone server via your broadband connection.

I would recommend as a test powering down your router and sure signal. disconnecting all PC devices from the router and powering the router back up with just the Sure signal attached (and powered up)  once this has come up I would then connect a PC to the Router and test the internet connection by performing the following on a PC :

Hi voda team

Would appreciate some support - flashing system light for 10 mins or so then just solid power light.

VSS Serial no 40111056160

Tried factory reset - VSS is in DMZ, all ports as necessary forwarded to the VSS and it is picking up DHCP address from my router (Draytek 2820) - believe it to be a routing problem to your network as per traceroute below.

HI guys,

I was having trouble with my old version SS and have jsut received the new one as a replacement. However, the problem has not been resolved. The box has been registered correctly (Serial 40111617342).

I've connected my laptop to the pass through ethernet port and get the following traceroute:

Traceroute has started… traceroute to 212.183.133.177 (212.183.133.177), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

On speedtest I'm getting a ping of 47ms, download of 6.3MB and upload of 0.27MB

These are better speeds than I was getting when the box was working.

I've also checked that the box is getting an IP address; it is, and I can ping it.

My external IP is 82.69.81.49 and both LAN lights work on the back of the box.

The only thing that has changed with my ISP is the IP address. Is there any way you can check that this IP address works?

Ports are forwarded as suggested and the SS is set up as the DMZ to catch all other traffic.

Many thanks,

Vince

[FelixDaHousecat]

upload looks slow, you need minimum .33ms I think.

also, what lights are showing on the ss?

how long have you had it?

FDH

[vchaney]

I've had the old SS working on less than these speeds. There is more detail in the threads on the old SS thread. Only the power light is showing (hence I posted on this thread). The box has been registered for about 5 hours now. TBH the reason for the early post is that I dont believe the issue to be with the box, I think there is an issue with the location and static ip I had assigned to me. The router setup is identical to my old O2 set up and it's on a BT access wholesale line, so the speeds are broadly consistent. I'm now with Zen and there are other users who have this working through them.

Thanks for you help.

Hi Lee

Sorry for the delay in responding but the reset did not work.   I have been onto my firm's broadband provider and have worked through the port forwarding configuration with them to ensure I did it right with the new unit.  I still have not luck - just a box with a power light!

[Lee]

Hi there vchaney,

I responded to your post in the other thread yesterday.

I've requested the static IP be looked at and will get back to you with more information as I receive it.

Hey EMWood,

No worries about the delay. To be honest, because you hadn't posted back I though we'd resolved this one. Oh well....

I've just forced another resync of the Sure Signal serial number you posted earlier in the thread (40111328304).

If this doesn't work then I think we might have to look at a further replacement.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks to you both,

Lee

Hi Lee,
Further to our conversation last night hers is an update. Unfortunately I still only have the power light on and steady. Please could you do a resynch as you suggested. Thanks for your help.

Hi Lee

I'm not sure that a replacement will work as my partner also works from home and we swapped ss boxes and this new one works fine off the router and landline going into another room.

Hi Lee

Sorry for the delay in responding. There is no change in the unit. It still has the power light only on and steady. Am I supposed to have done anything else?

Thanks Amanda

Hi,

I received my Sure Signal 3 days ago and so far, nothing's working. I have been through the checklist on this page. I'm not up on ports and port forwarding and could do with some assistance.

My router is a Belkin Play model No. F7D4402v1 and the VSS serial is 40112305814. My ISP is Virginmedia.

I have definitely got an internet connection, the ethernet cable is working. I've rebooted the router. The Sure Signal is registered correctly and has been assigned an IP address on my router (192.168.2.21).

Hope you can assist.
