Motorola CANOPY  2400AP

Not connecting to internet

posted by archer2000 on Dec 31, 2007


When I start my computer in the morning I have to unplug the canopy first. If I don't it will say I have no connection to the internet. I tried to update my drivers. I also assigned a static ip and that didn't help.

Hi,

I just want add other possibility :)

Or your ISP running DHCP server with time limit and refresh auto --supposed-- to give your Canopy IP address. In the morning your IP address from the ISP is expired already.

Call your ISP for make sure.

Best regards

Hi,

When you power down the canopy, what happens is you also do a hard reset which from your post re-establish the connection.

One of the many possible causes is that the canopy is loosing its DHCP lease on its assigned IP add. This may be a security feature/measure of your ISP limiting assigned IP add through a DHCP server for only a couple of hours to clients such as yourself. If this is the case then you have to bring this to the attention of your provider;

Another that you can try is to telnet to the canopy interface and check its settings. Its IP add is 169.254.1.1(255.255.0.0). Newer versions uses the 10.X.X.X (255.0.0.0) series, pls check which one you have.

Alternately, what can be done is to do a soft reset (not powering down/hard reset). Right click on your Networking icon in the System Tray and click on "Repair".

Other areas you can check/try are your router settings (if you are using one), settings of HTTP1.1 through proxy connections in IE, fix DNS (you can get them from your ISP). If you are using XP, there is also a registry tweak for DNS errors resulting to no connection (winxp_dnscache.zip).

Hope that this be of some help/idea. Pls post back should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
