Is there an option on the signal box setup, to specify a static IP address?
If there is, then try the following settings.
IP address 192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254
DNS Server 192.168.1.254
You can then setup port forwarding to that static IP address.

I had an online chat with a BT Broadband help person, who said she wasn't trained on Openzone and gave me a number to call, where I got a recorded message saying that the BT wi-fi network had "issues". A few hours later the problems disappeared and today everything's fine. So who knows.
Regarding Ts and Cs, if Openzone is bundled with your Total Broadband package there's no volume or time limit, you just have to log in every 30 mins if you go over 10,000 minutes in any given month. Large files are positively encouraged: "Is there a download limit? No. Wireless broadband is perfect for uploading or downloading large files at high speed. Usage is based on time rather than data transfer amount." From https://www.btopenzone.com/help/common-questions/index.jsp#using_8 I'm downloading 50GB+ files via P2P. But perhaps the BT network sees them as lots of small files, as P2P works by chopping them into little bits.
The Openzone Fair Use policy only applies if you buy an Openzone subscription separately. In which case P2P, large files and a 3GB+ monthly volume are "inappropriate". http://www.btopenzone.com/terms-and-conditions/fair-usage-policy.jsp
DS, what did you mean by clearing the connection history? Sounds interesting. Do you mean removing the profile from the Manage Wireless Networks screen?

Can I use old Home Hub (White one) on Infinity ? M...

I upgraded to Infinity a few months ago.
The black v2.0 hub has developed a hardware fault......power light on, but can't connect to the DSL Modem.
I have tried all the resets (power......hard reset button, etc), and reported the fault.
A replacement is on order, but will take a few days to arrive.
I still have the old white Hub and was wondering if I could use that while I wait for the replacement v2.0 to arrive.
As users of BT Vision, it is a right pain having to wait for the new unit.
Any (relevent) advice appreciated..........

white hub will not work with infinity

There is no way to find out your IP address from a remote location. Its possible that your home hub has locked up, or your broadband line has failed.
Unless you can get someone to check at home, there is nothing you can do.
The home hub does not normally respond to a ping request anyway.

Can I use a USB hub to connect more than 1 hard drive/flash drive device to the EA4500?

Can I use a USB hub to connect more than 1 hard drive/flash drive device to the EA4500?

That's not possible, it was designed to handle one device at a time.

I'm thinking of buying an iPad. Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?

I'm thinking of buying an iPad. Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?

Another thing to note is that if your cell plan/carrier supports it (it's free with Verizon Shared plans), you can also use your mobile phone as a mobile hotspot (Personal Hotspot on iOS devices) and use your phone's data to access the internet on the iPad. I purchased an iPad 3 with Verizon 3G/4G cellular built-in but have never activated it. I instead use Personal Hotspot with my Verizon Wireless cellular (phone) plan. If you go this route, you can save money over purchasing a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad and just choose the Wi-Fi model. But also realize that if you choose to at some point to use the iPad when you're away from Wi-Fi, you won't have the built-in cellular capability that a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad would have.

Using multiple Home Hubs as access points

I have a BT Infinity connection using a Home Hub 5, however the signal is poor or non existant in parts of my house. I have Cat5e wired to some of the rooms around my house, so could I connect 1 or 2 additional Home Hub 5s to extend/improve the signal? If this is possible is it easy to configure?
Thanks

Can I use a firewire hub?

I only have one firewire port on my PB. I need to connect an external hard drive and my camcorder so that I can capture from my camera to the hd using fcp.
Can I use a fw hub to allow me to do this? I'm worried about whether or not it will allow data to be transferred both ways ie, into fcp from the camera and out again into the hd... ... ...

Yes, a separate power supply is strongly recommended. According Apple the firewire ports can deliver - depending upon computer type - between 7 watts and 15 watts at 9-12 VDC. This is not much, if you run a digital camcorder and an external harddisk at the same time, for example.

Newbie poster here I have bought a Tenda W150 wireless router to connect my sky+ HD box to my old school home hub 1.0 or even 1.5. I get a service connection fail which according t the sky forum can be cleared by changing the home hub multiplexing setting to LLC. Can someone tell me how I do that please? Ta Tel

You cannot change any settings like that within the BT home hub, it is locked down.
There are people on this forum using Sky Anytime without problems, if you do a forum search, especially on the Infinity forum.

I tend to think that the comments about MAC address filtering and wireless security are a bit misleading - if these things were the problem then it would not work at all as opposed to working sporadically.
I must admit, reading your post I had exactly the same problem moving into a new house last year, my desktop PC in my room would get terrible wireless reception with constant erroring and was practically unusable whilst a laptop sat next to it was just fine. I tried a million different things and eventually bought an external wireless antenna like the one here:
Edimax EA-IO7D 7dBi Indoor Omni-Directional High Gain Antenna with Desktop Stand - 1m Cable
It solved the problem for me though I am still mystified as to what the problem is - I suspect that there is something in the environment causing interference though I don't know what. My house is of average size and fairly modern with thin walls so I would not anticipate any problems.
Some things to try are to move the PC right next to the hub (or vice versa, whichever is easier) and see if this improves things or borrow a wireless router from a friend, turn off all encryption and see what signal strength you get there.

Can I replace a home hub with a decent adsl modem?

I have several PCs, laptops, an internet TV, a couple of apple TVs, ipads, phones etc in my house and am fed up with them not communicating properly.
So after reading how reliable they were, and given the fact I have somehow become an apple fanboi without meaning to, I opted for an airport extreme.
The intention is to use this to create my wireless network & have the homehub just deal with the broadband... sadly it seems this is not possible. I can't disable the wireless on the homehub and supposedly I need to have it to deal with assigning IPs.
I could live with this if it works, but it still causes issues - computer to computer communication is flawless, as I hoped, but the internet is patchy.
I am sooo fed up with this it is not true - not including the time wasted with homeplug networking & airport express too - I want to bin the POS that is the home hub and have complete control over my setup. I don't need a stupid broadband phone and I don't use FON!
Can I buy an adsl modem that does nothing except get my broadband into my airport extreme network?
Alternatively is it worth me hassling BT until they give me a homehub 3 - is this any better?
Cheers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I did take a quick glance at the manual and it seemed to do what you need, but it may be worth taking a closer look yourself, its on the TP-Link website.
The only issue I can possibly see, is the PPP authentication.
Normally the home hub will authenticate internally using PPPoA, this will bring up the Internet connection.
If you are using the TP Link as purely an ADSL modem, then your Airport Extreme will be authenticating using PPPoE.
I am not 100% sure whether that will bring up the PPP session. It would certainly do on an Infinity connection, but I have never tried it on an ADSL only modem.
I would imagine that is should work, as the modem will be bridging the connection from the ATM side.
You can use a PPPoE user name of [email protected] and a password of bt

BT Fon -can not activate on home hub

i orinially registered on 22nd of June and got an email confirmation but my home hub 2 still can not be activated. If i click on active service it says you are not currenlty part of the fon network. If have reset the hub and it has made no difference.

If you have opted in to FON, you can still use other FON/Openzone hotspots, even though your own hub is not activated.
The best way to check your service status is to look here

NAT TYPE 3 on PS3 using BT HOME HUB

Recently I have noticed that my NAT Type has changed from OPEN to STRICT on my PS3. This is causing problems when connecting to online games. Quite often I will not be able to connect to game, friends will not be able to connect to me if I am host and also I get signed off the PSN network randomly. This has only started happening recently.
I have read about this on other threads and it appears to be a problem with the BT HOME HUB. I have the older white version (not sure what model type).
Can anyone advise if BT intend to address this common problem with connecting to online games through a BT Home Hub?
It would appear that obtaining NAT Type 2 from NAT Type 3 can be quite a tricky process. Again I would be grateful if anyone has any advice on how to do this and whether ti is worth trying.
If this issue is not resolved soon I may have to consider if I will renew my contract with BT as it would appear it is a recent upgrade to the BT Home Hub that has caused the problem.
I did not have any major connection issues until recently.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

try this mate,it was for my old bt205 but when i got my first hub i had to use these settings also.oh and another 1 to look for is in your hub settings 192.168.1.254 then go in to advanced settings and look at your network ( have your xbox on ) your hub should list the things connected to it,now pick the xboxlive from the dropdown box and pair it up this should always give you open nat,if it goes strict again unplug router/hub power line for 2 mins then reboot and reboot your 360.
