The new box I installed in remote location has a problem obtaining IP address. The box was working perfectly on my local LAN.
In remote location I assigned static IP to it 10.10.0.5 Previously this IP was assigned to a Virtual Box but I no longer use it, so I assign this IP to a new box. The box was working for a day, but now when I boot the box I get - soliciting a DHCP lease - carrier lost Could the old IP get stuck somewhere in DD-WRT router? ping 10.10.0.5 - gives me no response. The Cat5 is about 15-20meter long, I test it with a cable tester, it is good (all the lights light up in correct order). Cable is plugged in into a new switch. I'll try to assign different address to it tomorrow and will try a new router on Friday. -- Thelma
