Can someone help or explain what is wrong with my wlan configuration? Why can´t I ping my Vu+Duo? I have installed one of the latest versions of Pli (OpenPli20101225) and have got the Wlan connection working with a fixed IP address. I have seen the address on my router´s active list but it disappeared after a few minutes. After a wlan restart on the Vu it was back on the active list but I cannot access it from my PC by pinging or by using a browser. Using Ping, if tells me “Request timed out” or “Destination host unreachable.” I am using a VoNets dongle for my wireless connection. All my other devices, desktop PC, laptop, Samsung TV, printer and scanner are connected to the wireless lan and all work normally. I have checked the subnet setting and the DNS settings many times as well as the gateway value. I have re-flashed the image several times.
Any clues? Why does the Vu or VoNet time out? Is there a parameter I can set to avoid this? Even when the address is visible on the router active list, I cannot ping it from my PC. Is there a “Keep alive (ACK-NAC)” signal that should be going from the router to the VoNets dongle which is not working? The router is an ZYXEL.
Appreciate any help!

Are these replies really being helpfull? "Try another openpli !". Has no-one out there got any ideas about my problem? I am assuming that the Pli images are are working correctly, of course!

The image is almost a year old. So the problem could have been solved in the mean time.

sorry, I had assumed that the download from the entry: OpenPLi-beta-vuduo-20101225_usb.zip 2011/09/22 13:21 - 32.77MB
found on http://openpli.org/download/vuduo/ was a very recent one, going by the date.

I will try this one, made 1 1/2 weeks later. OpenPLi-2.1-beta-vuduo-20111003_usb.zip 2011/10/03 02:11 - 35.87MB

But it is confusing, isn´t it, a download with "20101225" in the name but dated "2011/09/22" ?

Indeed, but just ignore the file timestamps and focus on the datecoded in the filename!has propably something to do with change of forum soft / url

Thank you all. I have flashed image OpenPLi-2.1-beta-vuduo-20111003_usb.zip 2011/10/03 02:11 - 35.87MB and I can contact my Vu Duo and it does not fall away anymore.
However, can some-one explain the following:
On the Vu Duo, after a network test I get:
Lan Adapter/ Lan connection / ok
Local Network/disconnected/ X <==****
DHCP/disabled/X (that´s ok)
IP addtress/confirmed/ok
Nameserver/confirmed/ok
[list=1]
[*]So, Local Network/disconnected/ X, yet I can ping the Vu duo IP, I can see it on my LAN and I can access the files on it via Windows “Network” window by double click on the VUDUO icon.
[*]And I cannot access the VUDUO via a browser (Firefox or IE) by typing in its IP address, which I can do for my router or wireless printer, for example.

Any clues?

1 I have no idea, looks like a buggy.
2) You need a Webinterface for that, check in the plugins/extensions area in the online feeds for a "webinterface-old"- package.
You might also try: "DCC-E2" or something like that, see also here: http://openpli.org/f...kbare-plug-ins/
However DCC-E2 will not provide a webinterface, just telnet/ssh/ftp, etc.
It's in Dutch, sorry about that.
Stick with the plugins/apps mentioned in part A, these are confirmed to work.
