May 28 17:48:01 <sp3ctum> hi
May 28 17:48:52 <sp3ctum> I've got a brand new slug that does work in the standard 192.168.1.77 address, but DHCP doesn't work
May 28 17:49:18 <Reedy> What do you mean DHCP doesn't work?
May 28 17:49:23 <Reedy> It doesnt get a DHCP address?
May 28 17:49:25 <sp3ctum> I've set it to use DHCP but after about a minute it starts beeping
May 28 17:49:27 <sp3ctum> yes
May 28 17:49:36 <sp3ctum> then it defaults back to 192.168.1.77
May 28 17:49:46 <sp3ctum> any ideas? it's totally unmodified
May 28 17:50:29 <sp3ctum> my setup is like this: all the computers in my apartment get their IPs from the building's own server
May 28 17:50:35 <sp3ctum> so no access to DHCP either
May 28 17:51:39 <sp3ctum> I've tried researching the internal logs with telnet, but they're only readable by root
May 28 17:52:03 <sp3ctum> and since I don't know the password for root, so far that attempt has failed
May 28 17:52:07 <Reedy> So its still on stock firmware?
May 28 17:53:04 <sp3ctum> yeah
May 28 17:53:26 <sp3ctum> totally unmodified, except setting the DHCP on in the http menu
May 28 17:53:51 <Reedy> I've never noticed any problems on stock.. But i havent kept it long
May 28 17:53:55 <Reedy> What version of the FW is it?
May 28 17:54:36 <sp3ctum> how can I find out
May 28 17:54:43 <Reedy> http://192.168.1.77
May 28 17:54:50 <Reedy> it mentions it somewhere on the pages
May 28 17:54:54 <sp3ctum> ok, brb
May 28 17:55:00 <sp3ctum> have to be offline for the address
May 28 17:56:34 <sp3ctum1> Firmware         Version:  V2.3R24   
May 28 17:57:19 <sp3ctum1> could downgrading help?
May 28 17:57:56 <Reedy> v2.3R73 i think is the newest..
May 28 17:58:34 <Reedy> I'd be more tempted to upgrade.. Though, it depends what firmware you're wanting to stick on it..
May 28 17:58:34 <Reedy> Whats the setup? Presumably into some switch then into the buildings network?
May 28 17:59:01 <sp3ctum1> yeah
May 28 17:59:09 <sp3ctum1> that's it exactly
May 28 17:59:32 <sp3ctum1> I've tried with another network port just to make sure, but with the same results
May 28 17:59:39 <sp3ctum1> thanks for helping btw
May 28 18:03:11 <sp3ctum1> I'm hoping to install debian on it, but I understand it needs internet 
May 28 18:03:23 <Reedy> Yeah, it will
May 28 18:03:29 <sp3ctum1> so I'm worried about messing with the firmware until it works
May 28 18:07:59 <sp3ctum1> I'll try to find the v2.3R73 firmware and do an upgrade to see if it solves the issue
May 28 18:08:12 <Reedy> should be downloadable, otherwise i can email you it
May 28 18:10:02 <sp3ctum1> if you don't mind emailing, I think it would be the easiest
May 28 18:10:11 <sp3ctum1> or sending on irc
