pc connected to dreambox. using a crossover cable..use dream up
Just will not connect
PC is wireless connection on VM

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.

pc ip = 86.4.7.150
B/B ip = 192.168.0.1
is this right

[munchkin59]

ok have checked via my computer not one of those sites(find my ip) it is 192.168.1.6

have you switch off any firewalls you may have active on your pc?

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
really sorry

[westkill]

only need to connect dreambox to router with ethernet or cross over cable
only need to connect to pc if no router
find the local ip address of pc example 192.168.001.100 will start this ,then go to dreambox set the ip address 192.168.1.10* the last number being different 1 up to 9

[munchkin59]

ok if i connect the dbox to the router, the internet down stairs cuts off..........

[westkill]

how many ports are on the router there should be spare ports on the back

[munchkin59]

four spare, dont use any at all........

[westkill]

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
