Pandoras Box User Forum

Hello All,

I’m having an issue getting PB Menu 6.4.1 to properly work on a system. After a clean Windows install, PB Menu installs without any issues, starts like normal, but it cannot detect the network connection. If I go to Windows Settings I can see the network adapter with assigned IP address 2.0.0.23, subnet 255.0.0.0. In the Menu Network Settings window I can see the correct ethernet adapter, and when I select it I can see the IP/Subnet assigned in the Windows settings, but below it says “Lan1: No IP Available, Lan2: No IP Available.”

I can ping the system on the assigned IP address, I can VNC remote into the system from other systems running PB Menu (the status shows as “Offline”), and I can VNC remote into the system from a third-party VNC client.

Pandoras Box 6.5.1 and 6.4.2 both run just fine, they start and have no issues connecting to a manager system and playing back content.

The system has two ethernet adapters, I have tried both with the same IP/Subnet config with no success. The Windows’ Firewall is turned off.

It’s a bit of an older system, but the specs are:

Windows 10 Pro version 20H2, build 19042.685
Intel i7-260 3.4GHz
8GB ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Pandoras Box 6.5.1, PB Menu 6.4.1

Anybody have any ideas on where to go next with this?

Thanks,

Kyle

i have exactly the same issue, for years now, on 1 system (of 3 running). have updated this system from Win7 tot Win10, network drivers, etc etc, but no difference. show control works flawlessly by the way.

Change the names of the network adapters to Lan & Lan2!

Thanks Lucken! That was so simple, but it worked!

Renamed the network adapters to "Lan1" and "Lan2" and now everything works just fine.

thanks Lucken!
