Seam not to be having much look

The Laptop i have has no Ip address show at all, all i can find is the home Bt home hub. This may be a router too? I have tried to connect the as you ahve said to the dbox but is says there is an error in the connection, i have tried to diagnose this and it can not repair it, i think i may be beone hope, could i connect the dbox to the home hub? Or is that even harder? Sorry i must seame very think!

If you cannot find your pc ip then you can use the box one
To find box ip press dbox button then go to settings press on that then go to network you will find your box ip in there.Write it down then go to your network connections on your pc right click then go to properties left click then scroll down to Internet protocol ipv4 then press on it then press properties then tick on use own ip then input your box ip but 1 number high.
EG : box ip 192.168.0.2
pc ip 192.168.0.3
What ftp program are you useing?

Find you Dbox IP

Menu
Settings
Network
Scroll to IP address.

Note the address ie. 192.168.254.200

Now find you LAN on you computer
Start
Connect To Or Connect All Connections

Right Click on the LAN (Local Area Network)and click on properties, scroll down to/highlight Internet Protacol (TCP/IP) then click on properties.

In the box that opens click on use the following IP and enter the same address as your Dbox with the exception of the last digits which should be one less. ie. if the address on your box is the one above you would enter 192.168.254.199 the subnet should self complete with 255.255.255.0

In the lower section enter the DNS the sma as you enetered above 192.168.254.199 Leave the last box empty. Click ok then ok on the next box. Make sure you LAN says enabled.

Using your ethernet connection on your computer connect to the dbox.

That should give you the correct settings to Flash/FTP or connect using your browser.

I have now got it so it has scaned and found all the channels, and when it stops scanning it goes to bbc 1 that i can see and watch. when i scroll up the chaannels to view others the picture stops and says waiting for epg, or error channel not available, the signal bar shows that its a good signal as 3/4 full, also i ahve set my area location to nottingham as this is the closest i can find to Grimsby!
