    Welcome to the forum miffymak by no green light do you mean where ethernet
    cable connects to your F3? If this the case your F3 might not be connecting to
    the router properly, try connecting to ******* with your F3 if you connect then
    it is not a internet problem and you need to contact your server the problem will
    be at their end.

      Have you try another servers ?
      What about softcam , did it work ?
      Have you reboot your machine ( Unplug Power for 10min ) Sometimes it solve some problems.

          Hello mate and welcome

          Do you have DHCP enabled under ethernet settings ?
          Please check it.

            hi

            Following to kalpikos' post: try with auto ip-address and if this shouldn't work, try with a static one (manually enter the fields). I don't have a skybox, but sometimes I prefer static.

              This is happening quite a lot now with the F3 the first pot of call is to change the firmware on the F3 itself try an older firmware from last year

                No green light means no internet connection have you tried a different lead also the orange ligh has to flash also.

                  Skybox uses 10Mb ethernet.
                  The orange light is because its connected at 10mb.
                  The light would be green if it was connected at 100mb

                    Re: skybox f3 no green light

                    That is why I suggested trying to connect to *******, if poster can connect
                    to ******* the problem is with server of sealion or the sealion it self.
                    If the OP can post to say if problem is solved or not would be helpful to others
                    who might find them selves in the same situation.
