6.3  Wrong IP address 

If your IP address is a public 

address, your system could be 

slower than normal. It will be 

better to assign a private address 

instead as shown in the following 

example. 

Example: 192.168.46.21 

Note: 

Private IP addresses are 

assigned the following ranges: 

10.0.0.0   10.255.255.255 

172.16.0.0  172.31.255.255 

192.168.0.0   192.168.255.255 

If the IP address of your DVB adapter is not within one of the ranges above it is a public IP address 

and it is recommended that you change it to a private IP address (see page 44 for details). 

Your DVB S device may have a public IP address if you failed to restart your PC after you installed the 

DVB S device drivers. In this case, you should restart your PC, and relaunch the ASTRA proxy client 

installation routine (see Section 3). 

If you relaunch the ASTRA proxy client installation routine, follow the instructions from Section 3. 

6.3.1 Deactivated binding 

If the TCP/IP protocol is not correctly bound to your DVB card, you will get the following message:
