Been working on a diagnostic machine for cars. Sent out from one of the major car mfg. It was supposed to be setup dhcp enabled which I did , in a existing LAN , where had ISP service with regular pc that could connect to the car mfg. Still wouldn’t connect to the car mfg. site. Spent much time on help line, where I learned nothing. OK talked to some tech’s that work on hospitable machines a lot and they tell me they been having a lot of same problems , as far as they are concerned it is in the switching. This is a observation that I made would like some comments on.
When router assigns ip address it is in this format xxx.00x.0xx.0xx OK so address is full by using zeros where their isn’t any number for example 192.168.1.1 would have 192.168.001.001 OK using the ping command I can ping 192.168.1.1 but not 192.168.001.001 WHY? The original router was a zonett zsr0104cp, I tried replacing with a ovis link didn’t work. Replaced with a zsr0104b which solved all the problems with the machine connecting to internet there the local LAN to WAN. I know original router was good for connecting to www but wouldn’t work on the new diagnostic machine. I am unable to access the os in the machine so not much help from looking at that end.
Anybody got any insight into this problem esp. with the use of zeros in ip addresses.
