Chrissaf Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Please can anyone tell me in plain english how to set a static IP address in Windows 10 to respond to "WARNING: Railmaster is configured for remote devices, yet the network configuration is set to obtain an IP address automatically." I Have read the PDF guide but Windows 10 seems to bear no relation to previous Windows described in the guide. I had the system working last year but now feel that I am going round in ever decreasing circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Since Rob's post is a little bit on the cryptic side......for clarity AC is forum member 'AugustasCeasar' his external 'Help Site' which explains all you need to know about 'static addresses' is linked from this locked (sticky) post..https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/forum/railmaster-help-site/?p=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Oakes Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thanks for the advice. The explanation was very clear, followed it to the letter ( several times) but still get the same error message" no fixed IP address. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Go back to the help website I gave the link for and use the 'contact me email' link on AC's web site. I'm sure he will try to help you direct 'one on one'. Please note however, that AC runs his own IT business as a full time job, so there may be a delay in him returning your contact for help request..I suggest that in your support request to him that you are very specific in detailing exactly what PC hardware / software you use, what you have done and in what order, include any details of 'error' messages you get. The more information you give, the easier it will be for him to help. It is not very helpful to just say "I have followed instructions and I can't get it working". Oh and mention that you have raised this post and provide a link to it in your mail that he can use for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Caesar Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 @David As RAF and Chris have both advised my Help Site does go through this process with detail.However, as you have attemtped to go through this I advise you contact myself via the online form on the site as Chris has suggested.Then I will be able to sort this issue for you.From what I gather from the limited information supplied it should be a fairly simple process to sort.Whilst I am a busy fellow I do try and get mail back to members who contact me very quickly so there shouldn't be too much a problem. I leave it with you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Caesar Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just to let everyone know who may have been curious about this particular problem... it has now been solved. Following a couple of emails back and forth David changed some settings as guided by myself and everything is working... In his own words (and I am sure he won't mind me dropping this in)..."After digesting your advice I changed the settings for the Ethernet connection even though the Ethernet is disconnected and now Railmaster works. I wish I knew why."This has been explained so no worries there. I have also offered further help if the situation arises again or similar. So we have another happy railway modeller running trains again... 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
