use a normal ethernet......give ur dbox an ip addy 1 above ur pc, use the pc ip addy as the dns server and the router ip addy as the default gateway..........dbox - settings - network

Agreed- my router is fixed IP 192.168.0.1 and my dBoxes connected to it are 192.168.0.3 / 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.5 respectively. Each dbox accesses the web no problem, via the VM DNS.
The fact that my PC is 192.168.0.2 is neither here nor there. My dboxes still pull in live webcam pix from all over the world, even if the PC is shut down. But more important to me, is that from my PC- I can access each dbox via FTP, Telnet, yWeb, and even IFA!!
Cheers- AL

any ipaddy will do if its ur routers range....next one up if nothing else connected
my pc is hard wired to my router and acts as a server but may not need to be set to access the web but i do it just to get all pings...
the router is the default gateway
try ipconfig /all in cmd prompt, my Def Gate is the routers ip addy.....these settings never failed me.
this is what i get with dns server not set to pc

In the first pic it will work if you define the dns as 192.168.1.1
I understand what you're saying about setting it up as the pc ip but since your pc itself is not a dns server it will eventually just redirect the request to your router anyway, and then finally to virgin or whichever dns service you use.Last edited by on_the_jazz; 27 March, 2009, 03:39.Comment

what would you say is best to do in my setup , my pc is setup to a linksys wireless router , that provides access for all lads pcs and laptops , if i set up the small belkin router on the dbox , how do i go about setting it up so that it picks up the existing network?

Your Linksys wireless router instructions should tell you if a further router can be added to it's LAN- and if so, how to go about it, m8.
