        ok you will now need to connect agin with the crossover cable if your are not using a router. find the ip address of your pc and give your dreambox an ip address inthe same range i.e

        pc is: 192.168.1.4
        make dreambox : 192.168.1.5

        to get to the ip of your dm go into the menu on your dreambox, scroll to setup then scroll down to expert setup,then communication setup, theres your dream box ip, write it down and go back to your ftp prog and try it

        enter your ip into the server or url box.
        under user name enter root
        under password enter dreambox
        click connect.

                  If your pc ip address is 86.4.7.150 than you need to untick DHCP on your dreambox and probably make the ip address of your dreambox as 86.4.7.151 if you are still using a crossover cable. Try doing this to see if you can connect to your dreambox.

                    totally confused sorry.. have managed to connect d/box to pc to flash it but cant connect to add keys.... ?
                    does the d/box have to be connected to the router at the same time as pc or what
                    what is the sequence... pc to d/box to router

                    pc is wireless down stairs router and modem up stairs does this need connecting to my pc.
                    just cant seem to get a grip on this at all

                              stick the ethernet i mentioned into one of those ports and into your dreambox to make networked dont have to unplug the main one for the internet
                              then set the ip addresses as mentioned
