5260 - lost IP

Hi all,

I have an (old!) Efficient 5260 that is working fine in bridge mode however it does not respond to telnets or pings to 10.0.0.1 --- is there any way of resetting the modem (other than a power off which doesn't help) so that it remembers it's IP?

I also have one that all 4 lights come up red when powered up (and stays that way) - is this one only good for a wheel chock??

Both modems (and a third that is working 100% as a 5660 router) are 5260's with part number 060-5660-004.

Thanks

Andrew

You have to setup your PC with a Static IP in order to access the unit when in Bridge Mode as DHCP is off in that mode.

Yup - fully realise that - PC had a static of 10.0.0.199 which could ping the 10.0.0.1 address of the 5260-now-5660.

The 5260 that still is a 5260 doesn't give any ping responses and I can't telnet into it, indicative that it has lost its 10.0.0.1 IP - still works as a bridge though.... thats the one I was asking about.

The third one I think is wheel chock material..... (all constant red lights).

The only thing I can think of that would cause lost access is enabling the Bridge Filter in Telnet.

»The Unofficial SpeedStream 5260 ---> 5660 FAQ »What the heck is a bridge filter? What do I do with it?

You can reset the unit, but you have to add a serial port to do so as the 5260 is missing the 5660's serial port. The FAQ below explains that process.

As to the unit with all Red LEDs, that sounds like it suffered an overheat or a power spike. Are you using the correct power supply?
