Re: Old LP1 upgrade problem

[Dennis M <wytchcrypt@gmail.com>]

Finally got it working!

For any others struggling with this, connected the LP1 to my router...

1)  Found my router IP 10.1.10.1 and set my LP1 IP to 10.1.10.20 which was > my laptop IP

2)  Set my LP1 Gateway to my router IP

3)  Set my LP1 Netmask to 255.255.255.0

4)  Opened a CMD window and successfully ran ping 10.1.10.20

Still couldn't connect with the browser so just for fun I ran the LP1Ctl.jar and it actually connected!  After a couple minutes I looked at my browser tab (which I'd left open) and it had connected as well.  Ran a few upgrades with the java tool.  Shut it all down and restarted...browser won't connect again, but the java tool still works.  What a mess, but at least I got out of the buggy OS I'd loaded to something better.

Thanks for your help Rob :-)

Mr. Anthony Wiench,

There is no one to take you off of this list (once you’ve subscribed) except yourself.

Yes, it’s true, no one can take you off the list but you.

The original owner/operator (Kim Flint) died years ago and there is nobody at home but us LD chickens (the remaining members of the list).

That said . . . there is a mechanic that you can initiate to get yourself off the list.

Follow these instructions.

To unsubscribe, send an mail with the word “unsubscribe" in both the subject and body, and no signature files or anything else, to:

<Loopers-Delight-request@loopers-delight.com>

If per chance you are on the digest version of Looper’s Delight, send your unsubscribe request to:

<Loopers-Delight-d-request@loopers-delight.com>

Good bye and good luck.

You have to do this yourself.

No one here can do it for you.
