jonnydabney Posted August 18, 2006 CID Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi everyone, I had a constant Suspected Recent Satellite Link Outage for the pass 3 day, just on and off during the day. Called hughes and this is how it was fixed, went to internet, type in 192.168.0.1, clicked on Home, then restart DW 6000, it restarted and corrected the error. don't know if it will stay fixed, but I hope this info is helpfull to someone, Have a great day.

ghostmaster Posted August 18, 2006 CID Share Posted August 18, 2006 Most likely your connection to the Hughes Web Accelerator was down, and rebooting the modem fixed it. If you end up having to do this very often, it may be a sign of a grounding problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted August 19, 2006 CID Share Posted August 19, 2006 Just like any electrical short. Follow the wires to their source. Make sure it is grounded properly to either a water line, or the main breaker box, which should be grounded properly. Try a hard start. Unhook the cable, (second one down on the modem on a 6000) and touch it (the cable end) for at least 10 seconds. Replug and see if that helps. Also try disk cleanup in your programs.

ghostmaster Posted August 19, 2006 CID Share Posted August 19, 2006 http://www.dslreports.com/faq/2626 Check out this FAQ on grounding here. On the transmitter, there is a small screw with GND on it. There should be a wire running from that to a ground source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
