connection not working for me following guide any suggestions

[Devilfish]

What is your PC and Dreambox IP addresses?
Are you connecting straight from your PC to the dreambox or via a router?

[cnlr]

pc address 82.4.197.191
dreambox 192.168.0.1

from pc to box

thanks

Change your pc ip to 192.168.0.2 or simlar, as long as they are in the same range ie. the first three sets of No are the same.

How to Connect your Dreambox to your PC

Hi Cnlr,
Got great help on this site so i feel its my duty to help you as a fellow noob.


I connected my router to dreambox via a "Patch Cable".
This is readily available in any computer shop.
Plugs into backs of both router and dreambox
----------------------------------------
I went into the dreamboxbox
Menu > Setup > Expert Setup > Communication SetupMenu

enabled DHCP
set nameserver to all zeros'
put in my gateway addresss

(gateway address got by going to start run "cmd"
enter "config\ all" with out the asterix
all info you require here)

left everything else the same.
rebooted the box by unplugging.
plugged box back in.
went back to
Menu > Setup > Expert Setup > Communication Setup
and the dhcp allocated a ip address. this is the ip address at the top.Write this down,

---------------------------------
Go to your PC
start Menu > control panel > Network Conections > Local area conection .
right click and go into properties.
Select Internet Connection(tcp\ip)
Go into properties

change option one to use the following address
If your dreambox ip address( the one you wrote down ) is 192.168.1.8
then enter 192.168.1.7 in the box provided ( I less than your dreambox)
mask 255.255.255.0
enter your gateway address in box provided.

option 2 changed automatically - leave these blank
--------------------------------------
This is what my settings looked like


PC setting:


Use the following IP address:is ticked
ip address192.168.1.7
mask 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY ADDRESS :192.168.1.254


Use the following dns server address: is ticked
these are blank


Dreambox settings:

1p : 192.168.1.8
DHCP: DISABLED
mask: 255.255.255.0
type: lan
nameserver: 0.0.0.0
gateway :192.168.1.254
network :enabled
port 80
-----------------------------------

THe above worked for me.

open flashftp

Go to the lightening strike at the top
and select "Quick connect"

A page appears:




flash ftp settings:

url:192.168.1.8 (Use your own dreambox ip )
Then use the following:
username: root
password:dreambox

click connect:
files from your dreambox should appear.



hope this helps

Dreambox 500s can't get an IP

Hello , i just bought dreambox and i'm new to this whole thing.

so i did everything and when i start connecting my dreambox via patch cable to my router , it doesnt obtain an IP address.

so i tried my dreambox at a friend's place , everything went fine.
i connected the patch cable to my laptop to check if it's working and it also worked fine.

when i connect my dreambox to my router it has the following:

IP: 10. 0. 0 . 97
Netmask: 255.0 . 0 .0
Nameserve: 0.0.0.0
gateway: 127. 0.0 .1

DHCP: enabled
Network enabled

port: 80

i tried changing the above to my settings, still nothing happens.

i was wondering if somebody can help me.

thank you.
