Re: c250 network problem

are you sure that the m/c is telling you NOT to switch off as it is "accessing the network"

Re: c250 network problem

You are switching off the main power inside the front door, not the sub power on control panel?

sounds like dhcp is on and there is no dhcp server.

I have seen this before and it was a problem with the NIC.

In my case, I had to replace the MFP board, but you might be able to get the NIC back online by initializing the NIC under the service mode.

With these machines, you can't change the IP address unless you select manual which turns off DHCP.

Yes you do need to use the power switch inside the front door and not the sub power switch on the control panel.

You might need to reset the NIC using the special firmware tool.

When I had this same problem, Mr Who's solution worked for me.
