Cant connect to 500c

[ozshea]

i'm having a bit of bother i hope somebody can help...?

i've tried to ftp the new rom fix's to my 500c, when i try to connect to the box it's tellin me connection failed, i'm using a crossover cable and i've read mubz guide for noobs, but i'm using flashfxp and it seem's to be a different set up,

i'm going to site manager, creating a new site, calling it dreambox entering the ip address of the box, the username is root im entering a password, im leaving remote path and the local path blank, i then press connect and connection fail's,

any pointers appreciated......

The password must be dreambox, I am not sure if thats what you meant but you just posted you are entering a password.

sorry jaffa, yeah the password is dreambox, i've left the port blank but in my dreambox communication set up the port is 80, dont know if this has anytin to do with it.........

When ftp'ing the port should be 21.

Username: root
Password: dreambox

what is your pc and dreambox ip address?

You going straight from PC to Dreambox or through a router?

[ozshea]

i have username root and password is dreambox, on the flashfxp the port is coming up as 21 but on my dreambox its 80, the ip address of the box is 192.168.0.24 and my pc address is **.***.***.***, and i'm going straight from pc to dreambox.

I edited your post as i think you were showing your actual IP address and not your IP address of PC.

can you double check, open Dreambox control centre, it will do a ping and find your Box and you PC, post back the results.

[Jaffa]

You dont have to worry about putting your pc ip on here m8, its just local and we all have basically the same, its not your real addy.

hopefully your pc will be 192.168.0.25, one above the box IP

edit...sorry m8, never seen the mod edit. But your ip should be one above the box IP

the ip address of the pc is coming up as 169.254.169.96 and when i search for ip address of the box its doing a ping up to 100% without finding anything, it then says dreambox has no ip address, i'm baffled myself i've only ever flashed full working images with a null modem, i've checked my crossover with a multimeter against a diagram to make sure everything is crossed correctly and it seems to be fine........

thats ok, it probably meand you didnt add the username and the password before the search.

but we now got you PC IPaddress, so change your dreambox to 169.254.169.97

give that a try now should be able to connect between box and PC, or try 169.254.169.95

hope that sorts it.

[ozshea]

no joy with that either, this is what happened....

connecting to dreambox->IP=169.254.169.97 PORT=21
connected to dreambox
connection failed (connection lost)

I think something is wrong here.

Open a command prompt and type:

ipconfig /all

Find your network card and note what ip address is assigned to it.

Do you only have one network card in your pc?

How are you connected to the internet?

[ozshea]

how do i open a command prompt....?

i'm connected to the internet via nthell subscription modem on cable,

i think i only have 1 network card i havent modified the pc apart from additional ram,

going on what aftermath said i change the ip address on my box and save, when i return to communication set up its changed back to the original address...

[Jaffa]

For command prompt.

go to start/run and type cmd and hit enter.

Then a box will open and type as DF said.

ipconfig /all
