Hi again.
I did some testing.
I kept the NIM100 connected, but then disconnected all 3 STBs. No errors.
I then reconnected the first STB and was getting one error with an IP ending
in .82.
I then reconnected the second STB and was getting two errors. The first
with .82 and now the 2nd adds .146.
I then reconnected the third STB and was getting three errors. This adds
..188 to my list of error IPs.
So it appears that the STBs are causing the errors.
I have alreading included the STBs in my MAC filter, and I have also
assigned all 3 STBs their own IP address in my DHCP Reservation List.
Any further suggestions?
