Hi: Thanks, I will try this.
I have a brother who has a dreambox. He set up a server and claims that it would be possible for me to log on to that server from my home computer and then watch the channels from the dreambox as if I was sitting at him using the dreambox on his tv.
My question is if this is possible at all. I haven't figured out how to do it. I can log into his dreambox and can choose channels and change channels on the dreambox, but the VLC plugin never starts or doesn't download anything.
Does it depends on his upload speed or is it just not possible.

Thanks

Hi dxc,
use this software it will work far better, just add the IP address of your brother into it on startup, no need for vcl player, it uses WDP instead.

Ok, just tried to use dreambox viewer, but it says no connection to Dreambox.
However I can log into the dreambox from Internet Explorer or Firefox. Just can't play anything.

Is there a guide for dummies on how to setup the dreambox and server properly and how to connect from a remote computer?

I just installed dreambox viewer. When I started it, it then wanted to install a couple of wee programs like bitcontrol or summat like that, then put in the ip addy and it has worked since. I did have "not connected" once but with dreambox viewer I was able to restart the dreambox and it was fine after that.

Hi Jaffa:
Are you logging in on a computer located in another house? I mean the computer is not in the same house and LAN as the dreambox?
