I would propose to use static IPs to get around this DHCP problem. See instructions here (ignore when values flip after having pressed "save", just reboot to see changes effective): http://www.meteohub.de/joomla/index.php ... 6&catid=23

Please don't use 192.168.1.77 as an IP you manually type into the IP input field. Reason is that regardless what IP Meteohub gets via DHCP or manually it automatically assigns a second additional IP fixed to 192.168.1.77 to give you a way to login even if you can't remember your static IP or DHCP failed. This will conflict with giving the same IP manually.

So, I must follow the steps in that link that you gave me. But I'm confused about one thing in the text in bold:

It says "set appropriate IP".

So what IP must I write on that field, if you say to not use 192.168.1.77?

:unsure:

take the IP of your router or PC and change the last digit block to a value between 1 and 254 that is not used in your sub net. What results is a fine static IP for Meteohub.

So, you are saying to change the last block of meteohub IP to a value betweem 1 and 254 that is not used by another machine or equipment?

And If I do that, meteohub will stay forever with that IP, even when reboot?

Ok. I'll do that.

Later, I'll tell something (if it works or if the problem continues - I hope not...).

Thanks for all your help,
Joe200 :)
