Hi Validus,
What you need to do from your pc go to the dos prompt and
enter this command. ipconfig /all
The system will display your PC's IP subnet mask and gateway. The subnet mask and gateway need to be the same on PC and Dreambox. The ip needs to be different otherwise you will have an ip conflict.
Normally PC's are set to DHCP which means it will go and search the network to find an ip address not being used and use that one. So each time you power up your pc the DHCP side may well use a different IP.
when you have assigned an IP to the dreambox through the setup menu you should then be able to go to a dos prompt and type in the command
ftp 192.168.1.4
then you should be asked for the login then password.
the 192.168.1.4 is the ip you have assigned to the Dreambox, use other values if you want.

I know this mate, but i dont really want to set my IP as the same because im on a laptop so if i connect to another network and there is a PC or something else already connected with that IP i wont get an internet connection. So whenever i plan to connect my dbox i will just ipconfig /all to see what IP's are openHi Validus,

hope this helps... i had the same problems..
what i did was.. put the cross over cable in..should c the light flashing on your pc? make sure you dbox is on...jst change your ip altogther..
ip: 192.168.1.10 ... jst tab it and the subnet mask should jst cum 255.255.255.o
then reboot your dbox while everything is still on.. jst let it reboot.. while your waiting take off your firewall.. change your ip to 192.168.1.11
thts it dnt change the duplex.
then the ftp u using..recommend filezilla.. if its dbox2 u using password is dbox or dbox2.. i used commando image so my password was 'commando'
clickd connect top left corner after puting in details like account etc and it worked..
