Newbie cannot connect to modem

Post by Griffiss »

Hey guys, hope I'm posting in the right place. But I'm trying to setup my dreampi for the first time and I'm running into an issue I can't seem to find help on. So I I've got everything hooked up, dreampi seems to be running well (am getting a "Failed to start dhcpd.service), I have built the line voltage thing (have lots of soldering experience so I don't think the connection is bad), I'm using the zoom 3095 modem. When I start it up both the pi red light is solid, green lights come on and stay on, setup my internet settings in web browser 2.0, but when I try to hit connect it never connects to the modem and then both lights on the modem will turn off. I have checked my router settings and it says that the pi is ok. What should I try?

Maybe it is the line voltage inducer. Are you sure you built it correctly? There were no replies or follow ups to this, have you got it working?
