Bunny needs the vet?????

Hi You seem to be the expert on the forums and I am in desparate need of help to save poor bunny from becoming rabbit pie!!!

I just cant get him to connect - Im not big on technical things either so it confuses me. He has all blue lights and I can see him in my network connections but when I try to connect all I get it "waiting for network". I have tried using the static IP address for him but wasnt sure if I needed the DNS details as well. Im really at the end of my tether with this bunny - if I cant solve it he will have to go back but I dont really want to do that.

Please can you help?

If it helps I am running XP with a Belkin router and built in wireless card with WEP encrytion.

Hy !

Try to create a manually network, named : nabaztagXX with "XX", the two lastest number of your MAC adress.

The bunny is on DHCP, it's better if you don't have any static IP on your card.

the tcp/ip settings are set to automatically detect - im presuming this is correct ?

Im also confused about adhoc - do I need to set this up somewhere or is it automatically done?

Are you using a Wifi PCMCIA card or a built in wifi?

If your bunny is a tag/tag (new generation), you can only access it with a 32bit wifi card (i.e. not to old one).

its a built in wifi card on a sony laptop - does that mean I cant access it?

yes it is a tag/tag

Ok so let's restart the story ok?

Unplug your rabbit, press the button and plug it back. release the button at the second where your rabbit is blue. (eeeh the lights not the rabbit itself )

Then do this on your computer : create a new wifi connection and in it's properties put : allows your computer to connect on this netword when it's close (sorry, I don't know the good translation :ooops:)

Then type the http://1952.168.0.1 thing in your navigator and then, set up your rabbit.

We understand : http://192.168.0.1 of course

thanks - off home in a bit to try it....why do you sometimes need to set it up from the beginning rather than using the connection that is already shown?

Because Windows Sucks

@Nabobyz : http://192.168.0.1 of course

(Now give me back my little pink pills please!!!!)

I'll let you know how I get on - I think I have lost all hope with bringing bunny to life but we shall see!!!

do I also need to make sure my laptop is set up as an adhoc network?

Don't worry, your rabbit will live

just had a thought when reading this:
when I turned him on initially his left tummy light turned green it was the middle and left that were always orange. Does this mean he could somehow have connected to my router even though it is wep enabled??

I didnt know about the 4 blue lights until after trying him the first time.

LED Status
Tummy Left Orange - Connecting To Access Point
Tummy Left Green - Connected To Access Point

Tummy Middle Orange - Requesting IP Address
Tummy Middle Green - Assigned An IP Address By DHCP (Internal Access Point Protocol)

Tummy Right Orange - Connecting To Nabaztag Server
Tummy Right Green - Connected To Nabaztag Server

ok set up new connection - tried it twice as I wasnt sure whether the adhoc connection box should be ticked and it still wont connect!

When the 3dr light turns green, that means that your rabbit is allowed to go on internet. If this light stills orange, maybe your box or your router is allowing only the devices selected with their MAC adresses to go on internet.

Check this.

The nose light is for the connection to the Violet's servers.

Another thing, do you have a tag or a tagtag (with a navel)? If you have a tagtag you have to connecting it on the infrastructure mode, not on the ad-hoc mode which is for the tag rabbits.

I have the tagtag - bunny lights are irrelevant as it still wont connect under blue light mode.

What is the next thing I could try - a large saucepan of boiling water perhaps LOL

Did you try to connect your bunny without any encryption or selection by mac adress on your wifi network?

Just free your wifi network, unplug and plug your rabbit just to see what's happening please.

To be honest Im very clever with technology and am not sure how to free my router?

How do I find the bunnys Mac address?

If this works then should I set up bunny with WEP kep and then encrypt router again?

sorry to be a pain x

Lol don't worry

You'll find the MAC adress of your bunny under it's bottom.

If it's working without any encryption it means that your rabbit is alive first good point!!!!

Then, you'll have to turn on the encryption of your router and then, set up your rabbit.

sorry a few more questions:

- so to free my router do I just go into the router page and select no encryption? Do I need to restart the computer then?

- if he connects unencrypted I think reconnect to my router and enable WEP? Surely then I'll be back to the position Im in now with bunny not connecting?

You ask too more questions every where You must have all these informations before connecting your computer with Nabaztag.

If you change anything on your router, you must apply on your computer and on your rabbit the same changes. If you select no encryption WEP on your router, your PC and Rabbit must not have a WEP key encryption. If you set a WEP encryption and give a wep key, you must enter same WEP key on PC and rabbit.

Both of them must have same settings, no ?

Ah.. Another thing.. Check in the set-up page of the rabbit that the proxy is on "no" if you don't have one ok?

Im really sorry if annoying everyone but I am really upset at how difficult this is. I didnt have all this information beforehand as I expected it to be simple to set up considering it is aimed at the general public.

I cant access the bunnys set up page at all.

To access rabbit's configuration page, I think we are under Windows rules and not rabbit rules because we must configure wifi access and not a rabbit access.
