Having problems with our sure signal box. The power light is on steady but none of the other lights on the front are on. The lights on the network port both turn on for a few seconds and turn off, over and over.
Performed a traceroute
Tracing route to cluster4.vap.vodafone.co.uk [212.183.133.177]

Hop 2 shows the same timeout no matter what address is pinged (even tracing google.com does it)
http://www.speedtest.net/ give a ping of 43ms Download of 2.65 Mbps and upload of 0.68Mbps
http://www.pingtest.net/ says line quality B, ping 60ms, Jitter 27ms
http://www.whatsmyip.net/ gives address of 94.5.218.249
And the sure sigal serial number is: 40132104098
Thanks

Hi there MiffNuts,
There could be a number of reasons it's not connecting to the server.
Can you try another ethernet cable?
Are the right ports open? You can check here.
Will the Sure Signal work on another connection such as a friend, relative or neighbour's house?
Cheers,

port fowarding saying ports not open......................is it the UPD or TCP option? should this site automatically check the correct IP address? which ip address is it checking-its not the same one as 94.5.218.249 as detailed in the first post-its checking 94.11.151.121. it says it automatically checks all IP addresses on my computer.
As you can tell I dont understand. please assist with getting your product to work.
thanks

Hi NiffNuts,
When it comes to the ports, you will need to select the following options for each port.
Port 50 - TCP/IP
Port 4500 - UDP
Port 500 - UDP
Port 123 - UDP
Port 8 - TCP/IP
When using the port forwarding auto guide it will normally check your external IP address, however this won’t always be the same as the one you first found for us.
The reason for this is that your IP address will change from time to time, to a different IP address within a range that your internet provider uses.
If this is saying that the ports are all closed, you will need to open each of the above ports using the setup guide for your router on the port forwarding website.
