Last evening we are playing around with Ropieee and it was working perfect after some minor issues. But this morning I changed the network config from directly connected on the switch to directly connected to Rock. But now, ropieee doesn’t show in Roon anymore. Both leds on the ethernet side are flashing green, so there is a connection but probably not the right one…
Is it possible to connect a Ropieee (Raspberry Pi with DigiOne) directly to your Rock?
Rock itself is working, I can use Roon on all the other endpoints. But he don’t update the Gateway or DNS Server in DHCP mode on the second Ethernet connection. Not sure why. But this is working with my windows 10 mediacenter. Only there was no internet connection.
Rock is connected to ethernet1 with DHCP on an other IP range.
The internet looking interface will need a valid DNS and gateway setting, which are usually supplied by DHCP, the local “point to point” interface (set statically) does not. Also, make sure the link lights light on the local interfaces, as you may need a crossover cable (if the ports are not auto sensing).
Using a static IP was the solutions for this. I used the following settings on Ethernet2 from the Rock:
IP Address Setup: Static IP
IP Address: 169.254.24.223
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
DNS Server: [My Local IP Gateway/Router, mostly this is something like 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1]
In Ropieee:
IP Address Setup: Static IP
IP Address: 169.254.24.224
With same gateway and DNS
I’m not sure if I can connect to Ropieee web client now, but will figured out later. For now it’s working perfectly, and plays very nice.
This IP addresses are in a self assigned rage…you should really used fixed IP addresses in something like the 192.168.xxx.yyy rages where xxx is the same for both and yyy is different
