Ok. Now I'm curious. Where is that?

On that we agree. Technically the MAC address is made in Sweden, too, though. Or at least assigned.

I probably have the only B3 within 2500 km or so. It would be a shame if it didn't work.

Seems like you've tried almost everything I could come up with here. Obviously the B3 isn't booting up correctly. I'd suggest downloading the usb install image from http://www.excito.com/bubba/support/download.html and trying to reinstall the B3. Supposing this is just a software fault and nothing ...

Hm. I guess there's some testing being done in production anyway - I guess you could do the readout during the testing phase?

OK, fair point, but are static leases best practice? The "D" in DHCP stands for dynamic you know :p I'd say they are, why wouldn't they be? A static lease is just another DHCP lease, except that the IP address is chosen reproducibly (but then again nowhere in RFC 2131 does it say that it ...

Not sure how a MAC address is going to help you configure a DHCP server... Um, static leases? If you have a network with an existing DHCP server (say, an existing broadband router), you usually don't want to have your B3 pop up at random IP addresses wherever your DHCP server puts it. Particularly ...

Here's a simple suggestion: a sticker with the default MAC addresses of the LAN and WAN interfaces. This would make it a lot easier to configure DHCP servers etc. without having to log in, especially since logging in may not work if there's a problem with the DHCP setup. On a "black box" t...

Hi forum, Just unpacked the B3, but I can't seem to get the initial connection to it working. For the record, it's a 2TB model without wireless. For the setup I need to connect to it somehow with a browser, for which I need either to know its IP address and/or make sure it has one at all. However at...
