Cannot connect to Gemini; No such host is known


 

Not sure what is going on but I am out at my observatory and trying to connect my pc to my G11G.? Getting this error message and I have checked all the connections.? I've been running Version 6 and have had no issues.? Any help would be appreciated.


 

Seems like your DNS lookup is failing for some reason.
Can you connect to your mount with a browser using ?
What is your Gemini2 battery voltage?

I'm assuming you are connected via a router using DHCP. Let us know if you are using a direct connection or a ethernet switch instead. Can you plug in your handset and go to menu --> System --> Network and see if DHCP is enabled and if you have an assigned IP address?

On your router, does your router interface have to ability to see the ip addresses of the connected entities? It is possible if you had a power outage or if the router was offline for a while that the mount was assigned a different IP address and it does not match the address in the hand control.

Maybe try rebooting your router.


 

Appreciate your help.? For the first time in a few years for some reason the IP of the mount had changed.? I entered in correct ip address in the hand controller and now everything working as usual.? THANKS AGAIN!!!!


 

Woohoo! Happy to hear! Clear skies to you and happy Thanksgiving.?


 

Same happens to me Russ. ?When modem router powers down it resets DNS and assigns any old address.?


FWIW

Some routers allow you to reserve an IP address for a specific MAC address. I¡¯ve got mine set up like that. Worth checking to see if your router allows you to do the same thing.?
