Hi everyone, Just thought I'd comment here, I have an SB3 which I found a doddle to set up, partly I think because the whole process is manually configured.
I had huge problems trying to set the duet up, and like other people here, I fixed it in the end, but I couldn't really tell you how, I just know it took hours to setup. One thing I will say is that once the receiver/controller actually got connected AND the software on both updated itself everything has been fine, even the Wake On Lan function is working OK with 7.1. I think the issue here is caused by the developers trying to make the setup transparent and automatic which might work well in some cases, but for many of us it causes big problems. I had issues both with the wireless setup AND my wired network (ip addressing, dhcp etc) all of which could have been solved if only I could have specified MANUAL settings instead of the controller trying to sort it out itself. On major issue I had is with the documentation which says that if the receiver can't get a connection it will bring up a screen asking for ip address details etc, but I never got that screen to appear no matter how many reboots, resets etc I tried. I would guess that many DUET users have some knowledge of setting up systems etc so I think a simple Setup Manually or Automatically question at the start of setup might be useful here. Now that I've got it working I have to say that I prefer the Duet Receiver/Controller over my SB3, though that is still in use upstairs! kantblue -- kantblue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kantblue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19236 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50848 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
