Can any1 help?

I'm trying to connect to my dreambox using flash fxp in the usual way. IP and everything is correct - I've done it many times on a DBox2. For some reason the username and password are not accepted. I'm using: root:dreambox. It's got a neutrino open media image and the camd.cfg file has the credentials as root:dreambox too but it always fails.

Tried pinging the box fine and telnet also comes back with login incorrect.

Any help appreciated !!

Hi all, totally new to all this with limited computer skills, but thanks to Thommo & Devilfish for all of the guides on the site, I have managed to load a new image and used Thommo's instructions to load new keys via FlashFXP. Problem I have is that I can only see the non-encrypted channels. EPG shows all the details of the SKY ones, but when I select one it tries to load but then I get a black screen - any tips to check on settings or suggestions to make sure I have loaded everything onto my 500c correctly would be greatly appreciated.

I have a new Digital Kaos image and the screen interface is different from the previous one I had - DigitalWorldz I think. All the connections via the router and the loading of the keys loaded as expected - just think there is some small thing I am missing to getting access to all of the cvhannels I had - I am on VirginMedia by the way. Hope someone might have a solution!

Thanks - Mainman

**Pico** · 8th May, 2009, 05:00 PM

Im getting the same error as johnhunt03 when copying the files to the keys and sccce folder

Error 553 - Could not create the file.

Any idea?

Thanks

Ok found the problem... my was that I was sending to the incorrect place (/var_init) when should be just (/var)

Thanks all, and maybe can help others...
