So, I spent another couple hours this afternoon trying to update to current firmware but cannot set static IP. Has anyone successfully set static ip w/ firmware version 2.02.00?
I decided the firmware update was necessary when I went to obtain recorded footage only to find my HD became full/NVR stopped recording on 17 Dec. I spent numerous hours attempting to update to current firmware but couldn't using the manual method via USB and firmware 2.02.00. http://support.dlink.com/FAQView.aspx?f=ST1P9C0jMxkTqMSBvzlquA%3d%3d (http://support.dlink.com/FAQView.aspx?f=ST1P9C0jMxkTqMSBvzlquA%3d%3d) This resulted in continual NVR reboots. I finally updated via USB to the previous firmware version: 2.00.11. From there, I update through the GUI to the current firmware.
I attempted to set a static IP address--the same one I previously used and confirmed available after looking at router connected list. This resulted in boot loop. I went through above process to get stable OS and then tried a different static IP that has never been used with same results--continual system reboot.
I settled on leaving the IP as dynaic, which doesn't make it the easiest for remote access nor local shortcuts.
So, has anyone been able to successfully set static IP address w/ 2.02.00?
I will be updating my other NVR tomorrow and will report back on firmware update...but I won't be trying to set static IP. I believe right now that if I set my IP to dynamic I will be able to update via GUI w/o issues...

What browser are you using to manage the DNR?
-
The best browser by far is IE.

Do you get the same problem trying to set a static IP address using FF?
What IP address are you attempting to use for a static?
-
FF sucks for Dlink. I use it for everything else but it always is freezing when accessing cameras or nvrs.
Posting my ip address isn't safe--right? It's at the top end of the router range with a 5 digit port number. I had no issue setting static ip with old firmware....
-
I've never had a problem w FF on D-Link for me.
No you can post your LAN side IP address here, 192.168.?.?
It's the WAN side IP address on the router that you shouldn't post. ;)
-
Thnx for trying to help but I believe it's an issue with the firmware...
-
I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.
-
Thnx but I'm not wasting more time on Dlink. I'll just send them a trouble ticket so they can Repair it in the next build--unless somebody comes online and says they don't have issues with the same setup.

Let us know how it goes.
Good Luck.

Good news. For my other DNR-202L I changed the network to dynamic first then updated the firmware through the GUI. The entire process took 30 seconds and everything worked perfectly.
I just wish the static address worked.
FurryNutz; I think your name is comical. Anyways, it appears you have communication w/ D-Link. Could you pass my concern along?
P.S. The IP I use in the house is 172.16.0.XXX
-
Can you post a screen shot of the place where you normal enter in a static IP address?

I'm out of town but I believe I was in the camera's network settings.
-
And the input boxes are grayed out or there isn't a box to enter in a static IP address at all?

I can enter it but after saving static iP address it starts a boot loop.
-
And the setting does not persists after the reboot right?
-
After reboot, the device goes into a boot loop. The only way to recover is to manually update the firmware again using USB attached to NVR. I can't remember what I did but I think I had to load the old firmware via USB to stop bootloop.

Ok, I'll get this to D-Link for review.
Thank you for the information. ;)

I've set a static DHCP assignment in my router to get around this issue.
-
That would be a reservation, not a static. Static is set on devices, not routers.

With my DNR-202L setting a static IP seemed to make it freeze all the time. It would freeze and then unfreeze. I switched it to DHCP and that solved the issue.

Thanks for the feed back. This issue has been passed to D-Link for review.
