Dreambox Tools v4.0 Help Needed

[vergil7]

I have downloaded the Dreambox Tools suite but i need help setting it all up,

When i enter the DCC new section and tick the crossover box my computer

ip number is listed okay , But which of the Dreambox numbers listed do i select

from the long list of numbers, Also when i connect the error message reads,

( error 10057 in function send socket is not connected ) How do i connect

the send socket and what does it mean , Finally a second message appears

( Telnet connected, Telnet disconnected ) If any of the members can help

me would you please post your expert knowledge.

ok when you open it click configuration ,do you see ..."your computer" on the left?and on the right your box? and that warning is in the middle isnt it? click to get rid of warning ,underneath dreambox youll see search ,click that,a new window will open its says search for ip addres of dreambox,click search and you should see it searching for your box ,its green band looking for your box
(mind and have your box connected to your computer and have dhcp ticked on box )if you have your pc connected to a router it should find it and if you have checked you ip addy of your box let it find it ,once its found it click accept,the link in dcc with your puter and box should turn green ,,,,thats it

Father Ted,
Many thanks for your help, Would it be okay to use a Null Modem
cable or Ethernet cable connected to both the computer and the Dreambox
instead of a router ?.
