Sorry if this post is in the wrong spot.
Seems I'm back to re-configuring the various thousand things on my network again. Change in the Cable Internet hardware due to a change in service (dropping phone service)...
I have not kept up with changes at Insteon / SmartLabs, etc., but it looks to me like the Smartlinc 2412N (going by memory...I'm at work right now) is discontinued.. is that right?
As I was reconfiguring, I found that I could no longer connect to SmartLinc. (Locally- hardwired, mobile, locally saying external, etc.)
So... I reset the SmartLinc to factory defaults.
My router was configured to allot IP 192.168.1.128 to the device.
After reset- and a lot of different trial and error, I got to the familiar page in my browser that reads, "...your device IP is... 192.168.1.128..." and lists the MAC and other information.
But the link will not work when I click on it.
I cannot ping (cmd window on a connected computer) the IP with a confirmed hit.
The webpage times out, regardless of whether I pick "new user" "existing user" or "advanced connect" in the mobile app.
The webpage times out on a connected computer, of course.
For some reason, I get as far as the "Your device is on ip..." page, but things go no further.
Now, my router used to be configured to forward Port 88 to Insteon, and I think the reason was because my darned IP blocks Port 80.
My impressions right now are as follows. Please correct as you see fit:
Since I reset the unit, it sees itself as Port 80, 192.168.1.128. (I believe I should still be able to ping the thing locally, right???)
When I connect with a mobile device, I'm guessing that it goes out to a site associated with the SmartLinc to pull the correct IP address?
I must have been able to get onto SmartLinc at some point, and change the port it used to 88 right? But how?? My configuration was all over the place before, until I got the thing to work, but for the life of me, I can't get there again. Connect a laptop straight to the Smartlinc??? Nah, that sounds stupid.... thoughts??
