why will my dreambox not connect to pc anymore

[thered]

may be a stupid queation but my dreambox will not connect to my pc anymore and i dont understand why

all the settings are the same i have also changed to different ip settings it wont work

but my box can still download plug ins ect from the net so i know it is all ok but it just wont connect to pc at all

btw also my box hung yesterday and wouldnt re-boot to the image i use on my cf card so i have installed a new image which is fine although i cant get my services to work as it wont let me connect

btw dreambox 7025 is the box of desire

check if ur pc ip changed.

ive got cables run from 3 boxes to my desktop and if i conn to db1 then the only way i can conn to db2 or db3 is to reboot or change the ip add each time even tho all boxes have the same ip add.

it may be a firewall setting to be adjusted, if u can connect to the internet the connection is ok, if u cant connect to pc its probaly because of a firewall ( as long as your ip settings have not been cahnged)

I had the same problem a few weeks ago, I had connected my dreambox through my router many times using windows XP. then the last time I cound not connect no matter how I tried.

So I switched over to windows vista and bingo went in no problem, I think mine may have been firewall problems.

reddevil, you can not connect 3 box with the same ip add to one router. every box must have is own ip, different from the others.
this is a lan rule, its the same for computers

matt, I never said they were connected to a router m8, wat I said was "Ive got cables run from 3 boxes to my desktop"
I am using crossover cables for a direct connection that is why they all have the same ip

thanks for all the advice guys i had to use crossover cable to pc to get it to work even though i used the same ip what a pain dont know why it wont connect though still
