hi guys

i have a cyclone android x2 box. i managed and put gotham 13.2 on it.

the problem i have is that i have to modify the gateway and DNS address on my wi-fi connection and i don't know how.
the router(access point) i am connecting to is not the main router and i just can't get online

also, is the LAN not working. is not connecting or getting any IP.

do i need to load more add-ons to get it configured?

i'm just learning XBMC on these boxes so don't know much about it. i looked online for about 2 weeks now with no luck on how to configure the IP's


and a major question now: can i revert back to android? the reset and power cable is not working anymore. i tried it tens of times with no luck

thanks for all your help guys

See my other post for manually configuring IP address and gateway.

For manually setting DNS in xbmc:
SSH in and run

PHP Code:

vi /etc/resolv.conf 


Exit by pressing "Esc" then typing

PHP Code:

:q 


press "enter" on your keyboard.

Now, the fun part. In "S40network" add the command to assign the DNS by

PHP Code:

vi /etc/init.d/S40network 


add DNS (I used 8.8.8.8)

PHP Code:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf 


before /sbin/ifup -a (use "i" to insert)
should look something like this

PHP Code:

#!/bin/sh              
#                      
# Start the network....
#           
                                  
case "$1" in                                        
  start)                                            
        echo "Starting network..."                  
        echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
        /sbin/ifup -a                
        ;;                           
  stop)                              
        echo -n "Stopping network..."
        /sbin/ifdown -a
        ;;        
  restart|reload) 
        "$0" stop 
        "$0" start                           
        ;;                                   
  *)                                         
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac   

exit $? 


Next, save and exit by pressing "Esc" then typing

PHP Code:

:wq 


press "enter" on your keyboard

Time to reboot after a sync:

PHP Code:

sync 


then

PHP Code:

reboot 


This worked for me, hope it does for anyone that needs it. If that didn't make any sense let me know. I can upload a quick video.

how do i manually configure the IP guys? i managed to log in as root with putty but i don't know linux (((

thanks for your time

This linux is a bit more restricted than full kernel linux build and missing code to be able to adjust the variables within XBMC. Additionally, The DCHP bug relates to the DCHP Resolver script either not working or not present. I think the bug was report in the first few pages of this thread. I can't remember is someone figured out a work around. Back before XBMC Frodo we used to add a interface script. See below, hopefully it will work (SSH in).

HOW-TO:Keep static IP
This is quite easy:
vi /etc/network/interfaces (After you "sudo su")
Add your IP INFO as per your configuration:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1
NOTE
You can check your INTERFACE with "ifconfig". Mine is eth0 in this example.

I confirmed this works to set IP address.
