right, i've read and read,, and still no luck.
my system, what i have..
a sagem sky adsl router connected to pc 1, pc2 connected wirelessly under tv to sagem router.
all works fine, as i'm on pc2 now connecting wirelessly too router.
pc2, is under tv, router is too far from tv.
can i connect ethernet cable from pc2 too dreambox, i know this maybe possible as i had xbox live connected fine too pc2.
my problem,with xbox libe it was simple ,now i can't enable internet sharing on 2nd pc, wnich is vista..
i've also looked up at the idea of a wireless bridge, but more headaches, as i would then need to add a second router as i have 3 of these knocking about, i could then connect dbox into ethernet port on 2nd router for 2nd pc, but this is a minefield,and 2 days of reading up,told me that not all routers,support client mode/ or the ability too bridge..
in the meantime, dbox has an image uploaded,can connect to satellites, and view tv, i have a motorised 1m dish sat system...
just need to get the 2nd pc configured with dbox, just too recap, connecting too router is out of question as too far from tv, am on 2nd pc now wirelessly which is under tv dbox is plugged in too 2nd pc, but vista won't enable sharing for some reason, as i have to share 2nd pc internet with dbox..
if anyone has successfully installed dbox this way i would be interested to hear how it was done, fortunately i have tm 5400 so i don't miss any football, unfortunately dbox is not working too its potential and need some help, thanks...
