Remote Access - Router Config Failure

Question
-
Getting some odd behavour i believe with Vail and my Router
Setup Vail on Tuesday and the auto config of my router worked fine straight out of the box
but yesterday evening i got a alert from Vail that remote access had failed - tried to get it to reconfigure and it failed - several times
Turned vail off and this morning it is now working after running the config wizard although still getting the login failures - so possibly unrelated - not sure
on checking my router logs it appears that vail is trying to login to my router directly or the router is seeing it as this - it started doing it at the same time i got the alert - bit before 22:00
Router is Dg834Gv5 - access via wired connection only
Also vail is trying to set UPnp every 30 seconds or so is this necessary
Sample of router log below - vail ip is 10.1.3.8 (dont ask why i have got an odd ip range its a long story to do with kaspersky!! which i no longer have)

Is anybody else seeing something similar and getting remote access failures or not?
I know V1 was a bit hit and miss on remote access but this was on my old router that i have just replaced so was hoping for a smoother ride with V2 :)

Please don't uninstall anything, Barb. Because Vail also relies on Live Domains, a problem on their end can result in problems elsewhere. And it looks like there may be a problem on their end, because V1 users are also having issues this morning:

I have a WHS 1 machine on a separate network (separate cable mode, separaterouter). That was still working. Which was why I considered that it might be anupdate. Also, both my homeserver.com domains were resolving and a tracert worked(yes, I know about DNS caching). and no, my IP address has not changed.On Fri, 30 Apr 2010 11:49:31 +0000, Ken Warren wrote:>>>Please don't uninstall anything, Barb.

Barb, does manual router configuration work? (I've always used manual router configuration.) Can you drop me an email (address in my profile, don't forget to remove the anti-spam device) and I'll send you my vanity URL. We can at least see if my Vail box is visible from the internet. :)

Unfortunately I did not come to a computer between 1am and 7am, so I didn’t get to see this, and cannot reproduce it here with Vail or my WHS v1.SeanThis post is "AS IS" and confers no rights."Ken Warren" wrote in message news:02057f86-eb9c-412c-9cb3-d6e857372913...Cool.

I am having similarly flaky vail/router issues consistently. i've tried DHCP and static IPs. Static seems to work better, but not without occasional router errors reported in Vail. My question question is this: Is it generally better to use a dynamic or static IP for Vail? What factors are at play? thanks!Thursday, July 29, 2010 8:37 PM
