Need Help With Dbox2

[harry1986]

Im trying to set up my bros dbox2 on the network settings what do i put in for example i have got

IP Address: 192.168.1.101

what i want to do is use the settings to connect to my pc

i need the follwing other seetings as i got the first ip address i now need

Subnet Mask :
Broadcast :
Default Gateway :
DNS Server :

plz help me get these missing numbers with that ip address standard to connect to pc

[Devilfish]

Subnet mask is always - 255.255.255.0
Broadcast - don't bother with
Default Gateway - IP address of router (if you are connecting it to a router)
DNS Server - Assigned automatically by the router if you are using DHCP.

If you're connecting it to your PC without a router, you only need the ip address and subnet mask. The first 3 ranges of the ip address should be the same for all devices on the network but the last range should be different for each device.

For example...

PC - 192.168.1.101
Dbox2 - 192.168.1.102
Dreambox - 192.168.1.103
Wireless Bridge - 192.168.1.104
Xbox360 - 192.168.1.105
Wireless PDA - 192.168.1.106

etc. etc.

Click the 'Start/restart Network' option in the dbox2 network settings page after adjusting any network properties.

it still dont work it wont reconise a connection at all keeps says its failed iam using a rooter.

[Devilfish]

If you're using a router, put the ip address of the router into the default gateway section and enable DHCP.

Save settings and reboot the box.

Go back into the network page and it will have assigned it an ip address, use this ip address in your ftp client.

i got it reconising the box now i just forgot where does the new image go to what folder does it has to be flashed to?

[smoggie]

must have temp memory loss, do a little reading in the tutorials, it tells you there

[harry1986]

i cant get the box to work its gone even worse now i cant do nothing, On the Lcd its says some numbers etc and my box wont ftp or anything i dont even get a picture or anything i messed it up by removing the image on it or sumfin but now dont get any response i took power plug out and back in and tryed everything its like its dead no response to anything?

[cgscott]

Null modem big guy thats the way to go.

If you can t communicate with the box in ftp then you have to use dreamup wit null modem.

You obviously flashes the box with a bad image.

[plasterer]

Not Dreamup mate
You need to use Image flashing Assistant (IFA)
Wot area you in .Its easy ..................Paul........LOL

[harry1986]

im in walsall and yeh dreamup dont work on these boxes at all im in the west midlands area in walsall

[thebigman]

Plasterer is correct ifa is the way to go there is a version here Digital Kaos - Downloads - DBOX2 Portable_Image-Flashing-Assistent You will also need a crossover cable to connect your dbox to your pc.

[harry1986]

Im using the Digital Kaos - Downloads - DBOX2 Portable_Image-Flashing-Assistent version ifa, Im on Windows Vista Ultimate, Im using a crossover cable threw to my rooter to box and a null cable from box to pc.

[smoggie]

never used ifa through the router but i think you use just an ethernet lead doing it that way. try connecting the crossover cable straight to the the pc itself, its the way i always do.
