cant help with control center as ive never used it, try having a go with flash fxp with the same login/pass.

i know theres been prob and boxes going down in ireland so until theres a deff fix i would manually add the keys to the image. you need to be able to log in to do that though.

reboot the box and reboot the pc sometimes that helps but before that make sure your connection settings on the dreambox are correct and it has asigned it an ip.

in control center or fxp enter the ip of the dreambox and user/pass. should work then, seen it throw a few people that, they enter the wrong ip of the dreambox.


try it and report back.

try this, no pc needed

For all you 500C people this is to get your box back working

Press the YELLOW button on the Dreambox remote.
Select TuxBox Commander.
Press OK on var, then press OK on keys
Press 4 on keylist.txt
Change whatever the hell is on 00 to

see link for keys, we dont host them on the site.

Have you changed the IP address on your DM500

MENU
SETUP
EXPERT SETUP
COMMUNICATION SETUP
IP ( change to a range within your PCs IP ).

here is an example what your looking for.

check your pc ip, and make the dreambox 1 above or below, uncheck the dccp box on dreambox

id try with another pc too to rule out anything on the one your using stopping it connecting. cant see it being anything other than an ip issue myself though.

What's your PC and dreambox IP address?

Tuxbox Commader should be in the plugins menu, yellow or blue button.

What image do you have?

[Digger]

my pc ip is 192.168.1.5 and my dream box is 192.168.1.8, i reset it thinkin it wud let me in so its only got factory settings on it at the moment

[aftermath]

Them IPs should be OK mate, did you uncheck the DHCP option on screen in dreambox settings ?


are you using a crossover cable hard wired between dreambox and pc ?

[Devilfish]

Remember to change the ip address in the ftpp client or DCC if you've changed the dreambox ip.

[Digger]

i did that but still says check dreambox ip, tried to ping it, but it wont

[Digger]

i have that box unchecked, i have a usb adapter goin into the null modem cable from laptop to dreambox, laptop is wireless and i can c the laptop and router in dcc but just cant lodin to db, any more suggestions as its really wreckin my head and prob yours also...

[Devilfish]

How is the dreambox connect? Via router or straight into laptop with a crossover ethernet cable?

If it's via cable, try disabling the wireless and see if it connects.
