Meteobridge Crash?

[CindyB]

I have a Meteobridge which was setup and working beautifully until just recently. We've had a lot of problems with the cable system in the neighborhood which has caused the modem/router to freeze up and need to be restarted several times. This has reset all of the IPs given out by DHCP, which has meant problems with both my Vantage Vue IP connect and with the Meteobridge. Somehow in the midst of all the resetting of things, the Meteobridge has stopped picking up an IP and is apparently not communicating with the router at all. When reset it goes into fast blink mode and stays there. Following the instructions at viewtopic.php?f=57&t=9291 it will either have a solid (no-blinking) light on the button, or no light on the button at all.

I am totally willing to plead stupid newbie here and I'm really hoping for a RTFM response with a link to a solution. I'm seriously concerned that I've bricked the little thing.

Thanks!

Cindy

Ok. Are you wired or wireless?

I don't think the unit is bricked. Out of 1000 units we had only one that failed after some time...

Can you please tell us at what stage your Meteobridge gets stuck. Please have a look at this flow chart to understand boot process and what you can do: http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Boot_Sequence

Getting the network back to standard LAN DHCP operation is explained here:

Thank You! That flowchart helped a lot. After connecting to the router via LAN, I was able to get it to boot. The entire config was lost, but the license was still there and I can re-do the config pretty easily. I really appreciate the help!!
