Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

It seems you are loosing about the amount of voltage I would expect if you have a non recovered F3 polyfuse. Please measure across the polyfuse (F3 on the back of the board) to see if you are losing a good part of a volt over it. It would explain why you cannot get the voltage level between TP1 and...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

Yep, it really bugs me that I only have problems with the NW devices. I would put it down to a fault on the USB connection to the wired ports, but it's the same for a wireless connection on a USB hub OR straight into the built in port. Anyone know of a (cheap) USB to cat5 adaptor which will work on ...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

Revceived this power supply this morning http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008 ... 02_s00_i00

Runs at 4.40v.

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

So here http://tiny.cc/dbpjlw is my prototyped 5v power supply based on a 7805 voltage regulator. The design is modified from this page : http://www.eleinmec.com/article.asp?16 leaving out the rectifier circuit since I used a 12vdc 1.25A source. No load voltage was spot on 5.00v, and running under l...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

I said I was closing the issue, but here I am, posting again. As a test, I have removed the USB connector from the end of my latest power supply, and connected it directly to the 5v and ground pins on the GPIO connectors. I now get 4.70v under load on the RPi rather than the 4.4v I got with the same...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

To close this post: Another power supply received this morning, advertised at 5.2v, no load voltage was actually 4.8v, and dropped to 4.4v when the RPI was running with minimal peripherals plugged in. All I had was HDMI to a monitor, NW cable and a powered USB hub. The KB and mouse were pugged into ...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

New power supply. Pull down voltage now 4.73v-4.75v so marginal, but better. Same result on non-connect board.

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

New board arrived from Element14 this morning. Plugged in, network connected, test voltage 4.50v. As you can see, the DHCP lease wasn't taken at the first bite.
New power supply will arrive this afternoon. Will test that and post result.

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

You definitely have a problem with the USB lead. I suggest you go out and buy a phone charger cable from a phone shop. What you have is probably only designed for data and it may cause you problems in the future even with your working board. It is very possible that your two boards are differently ...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

It's not easy to read, but I can't seem to find your keyboard. I also noticed that you have the hub appearing twice. I assume it's a 7 port hub internally connected as 2 cascaded 4 port hubs? If you disconnect the usb hub and all other usb stuff, does your wired network connection work like that? T...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

Yes, the USB ports work, have tried both. Yes, ethernet lights on the non-connect board light up in the same way as the connecting board. Results of lsusb: PiNW2.gif Yes - same setup as connecting card, no connection on non-connecting. The only connections to my Pi are power, HDMI out (to DVI adapto...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

try another [see fatter or shorter] power lead - you are too low 5% of 5V is 4.75V Took the USB lead out of the equation and powered using a 5v 2A supply onto the GPIO pins as suggested http://elinux.org/RPi_Hardware#Power_Supply_Problems . TP1/TP2 now read 5.07v. Still will not connect to the netw...

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

Have also tried using a static IP address. Obviously no errors about DHCP on boot up, but still no connectivity. Error message reports detination address unreachable through correct interface.

Re: Why can't I get the networking to work

Power supply - yes. Three different ones, 1A, an ipad charger (1.6A I think) and a 3.1A beast. Also using a powered USB hub. Reading up, I think it could be related to the buitl in USB on the Pi. I understand that the on-board wired Lan port is actually implemented as a USB device. This is one expla...

I have two (I think identical) Pi. One of them connects to a network without issue, whether it's wired or wireless.The other just will not connect under any circumstances. Same peripherals, same distro, interface looks up, but will not get an IP address. I get the following several times during Boot...
