Just upgraded my stoker from 2.1.xxx to the latest
The update went fine. Saw no issues.
I cycled the power to the stoker and verified the IP address stayed the same. Then I went to my web browser, but it could not connect as it could prior to the update.
Few more power cycles, nothing. This was a manual IP assignment in my router, so I deleted it so see if it reacquired an IP address, and it doesnt show up again, so no.
The Stoker menu still showed the same original IP address. So I looked harder and saw settings for subnet mask...it was at 255.255.255.255 while my router had a LAN subnet mask listed of 255.255.255.0 so I changed it and saved it. Also, the gateway was 255 etc...and the router said the default gateway was the standard 192.168.11.1 so I changed it to that. (I dont recall doing this before).DNS was listed as 255.255.255.255 but I didnt know what to change that to..so left it.
Power cycled and I can now connect to the Stoker using my browser without issues. However, the DHCP client in my router does NOT show the stoker. Did I bypass the DHCP client somehow so it isnt listed?
On a related topic, I am trying to port forward my router to my Stoker so I can check temps on my blackberry etc. I port forwarded my WAN IP address to my internal LAN stoker IP address using port 80 for both settings. I put in my WAN IP address into my blackberry and get an incorrect password screen without the means to entering one. It says "Password Error. Enter the password regarding the following tips. Already login"
EDIT: An update, I logged out of my router settings window in my browser, then when I go to my WAN IP address with my blackberry, it comes up with my router username/password screen. But then says I am already logged in anyway. Didnt expect a port forwarding to require a password?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
