Lost wifi, I think?

Post by jsclownfish »

I cannot connect to my wifi anymore through the wifi commands or the iPhone. I've restarted it and the light continues to blink green. I noticed the portal is defaulting to a new ip address as well, but the portal seems to be updating from the web banner database. Any ideas what's gone wrong?

Thanks,
Jon

Green means it is connected. Did it change ip address?

Maybe, how do I check that? I have a 2wire system.

Looks like it did and the portal figured it out. I may just need to update the port so it shows up in the live connection and iPhone app.

Thanks,

OK so I'm a bit lost. :? Honestly, I don't remember how I got it to work last time. ;) I had a dyndys account but I don't think I kept it after the Portal launched because I didn't think I needed it. I guess it is still a good idea for the iphone app. I can see the wifi if I use the IP address 162.x.x.x from the WiFly, but that is only on my local network wireless. If I go 3G or look on the portal that doesn't work and neither does the new IP used by the Broadband 99.x.x.x. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Jon

sorry didn't mention that, but yeah I think the port forward is OK. I'm actually using 162.x.x.x:2000 and it works on my wireless network, but not outside my wireless network and not with the 99.x.x.x:2000 IP.

That's exactly what happens when port forwarding is not correct.
You can access internal ip, because there is no need of port forwarding.

:D Got it! Thanks! I was port forwarding from my computer IP, not the WiFly IP. It works now.

Atleast I have this thread now if I forget how to do this again. :lol:
