Can't stream on LAN when internet goes out
Hi guys. Whenever my internet goes out I am unable to stream to my dune media player. The Dune can't find the network share. The files reside on my ReadyNAS so it should not require internet acces...
Hi Blanker-2, from your screenshot I cannot see what your default gateway on your local network is. There need to be a such a gateway on the local network otherwise the clients on your LAN cannot find each other (if there is no other gateway conducting this task). So, with no internet you do not seem to have such a gateway and all clients are blinded locally. Normally for this local gateway you specify the ip-address of the router and all is fine.
I do not know that nighthawk router you have, but would look into the LAN-configuration area, where you hopefully can specify the same ip-address of your router as the ip-address for the local gateway.
Good luck with fixing and kind regards
Thanks! So I'll a little bit confused. Screen shots below. Are you saying that I should put the address of #2 into #3?
Sorry, Blanker-2, I only see two triangle symbols instead of the screenshots. Dear netgear mods, can you help to make this visible or advise how the objects need to be pasted to appear visible? Thanks.
Retired_Member, unfortunately that is how this forum works. A moderator has to approve the included picture. It can take some time for that to happen (they are available now). Some users have special rights and bypass the approval process (I think that with SENSI icon's).
Blanker-2, no, your router is set correctly.
It is the DEVICE that is not right. I thought I saw somewhere else you had shown the W10 IPCONFIG output and there was NO Gateway IP Address on it? That means you are NOT using the AUTO part for the Network Properties and MANUALLY set it, but did not put in a Gateway IP Address.
On my wired W10 PC the shortened cmd output:
Ethernet adapter Ethernet:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::58bf:9e27:bf45:87e8%7
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.30
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1That last line on the one you posted, Default Gateway was BLANK... Needs to have the router IP Address in it.
IrvSp, is absolutely right. Without a default gateway (your local router's ip address) specified in the client's config it will definitely not work.
Thanks and regards
