On checking the settings the Connection to the Router and On Demand had failed and the IP Address of the box all zero's. On the basis that port forwarding works with Chromecast, if you can find out Sky's DNS settings, change the 8. The output will look similar to: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irrt Iface 0. Knowing the IP address of key network components such as routers, firewalls and servers, can be useful when troubleshooting network problems.

The location of the gateway address can be found by typing netstat -rn at the command line. In this guide, I'm going to show you how to find out the information that you need, from practically any device connected to your network.

my sky box ip address - When a host sends information to the IP address of a second receiving host it includes IP of origination, IP of destination and other information.

On returning from holiday the Sky box had dropped the connection to the router. On checking the settings the Connection to the Router and On Demand had failed and the IP Address of the box all zero's. Tried the red reset button, but could not get back to the screen to reset the connections. Any ideas much appreciated. I'm not sure I've seen many people on the forum using the on demand part on the Sky receivers. Are you using the receiver in Spain? If so, Are you using a VPN or Smart DNS server? If so, Have you made sure your IP address has been reset back to your home's? Go to your DNS server page and make sure you are set up properly I seem to remember that the DNS settings on the Sky box can't be changed. The problem is similar to Chromecast. Having said that, since the early days of Chromecast when only a VPN in the router would work. Here is a list of instructions to set up on various routers. Remember this will work with any DNS numbers but make sure you use the ones you are paying for. On the basis that port forwarding works with Chromecast, if you can find out Sky's DNS settings, change the 8.
