Vonets

[packmanuk]

I'm close to sending whole system back.

When I enable dhcp the ip address never matches. I've put in every number I have and none work.

Without dhcp I can get the ip number to match but the nameserver is never right.

I don't see how homeplugs will help as the network setup on the dreambox doesn't match, that seems to be the problem.

Enable DHCP server LAN IP address: Broadcast LAN IP address: Subnet mask:
DHCP start address: DHCP server end address:


Your computer's IP address : 192.161.1.171

WAN IP address :91.103.193.92Gateway :91.103.192.1Primary DNS server :193.35.79.100Secondary DNS server :193.35.79.101


Here is all the info I have with a few numbers changed here and there.

Can someone tell me whih numbers should go where in the setup and i'll try that.

Your default gateway will be something 192.161.1.1

you need to configure the vonets thru your pc or router , not the dreambox , just leave dhcp on in dreambox settings and when you have configured the bridge the dm will pick it up atraight away ,


Simply install the software on the CD supplied on your computer, connect the Wifi Bridge to your computer?s Ethernet port and USB port (for power). Run the software and follow the instructions on screen (here you can specify your wireless routers security, passphrase etc).

Thanks for that finally got the vonets working. It still doesn't seem to find the nameserver on the test but I can connect on dreamedit.

Next step is going to be to transfer some files. That will be the real test.

I'm trying to use a vonets wireless bridge to connect to my browser.

I seem to of setup my network ok on the dreambox (but how do you know for sure) ? But can't connect from my pc using the vonets software.

It doesn't find any wifi bridge.

The vonets only has 2 wires the ethernet cable and usb wire which I connect to the dreambox. Is this right ? It goes an amber colour, will this change if I connect or does it stay this colour ?

I'm trying to use dreamedit but can't connect from my pc so need to get this sorted out.

u sorted it

[packmanuk]

No still not working.

On dreamboxedit if I test the ip connection it says successfully connected to the dreambox on ip address (my address)

So I load the files and go to send them via ftp but get the message -

connecting
disconnecting
disconnected
could not connect to dreambox check ip address, network settings and status of dreambox.

I think the fact that nameserver isn't working on the dreambox is still the problem.

I'm sure the bridge is working now so I just need to get the nameserver number right.

I don't know why the ip test is working on dreamedit but it won't work when sending files.

What now ?

Now i'm getting all green ticks when I do a network test on the dreambox but still the same message about not connecting when trying to transfer files from my pc.

Have no idea what to do now. Finally got it working on the dreamboc, the vonets is working ok but still can't transfer files.

When I do test username/password on dreamboxedit it won't connect.

I get the message could not connect to the dreambox on ip address port 21 check ip address and port number and try again.

You dont need to edit a name servers, just choose dhcp yes, it will do it all automatic and give you ip, then use the dchp ip, witch will be like 192.168.1.5 and that is it, dont know what your doing sounds like manual

[packmanuk]

I've setup the network using dchp on the dreambox and get all green ticks. All the addresses filled themselves automatically so that seems fine.

Its when I go to my pc and try to ftp files to the dreambox i'm having problems. Its on the dreamboxedit programme on the pc that when I test the username/password I get the can't connect message.

what's the IP address of your dreambox.
whats the ip of your pc?

on your pc, open a command prompt (start, run, cmd)
type "ping nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" enter.
the n's are the address of your dreambox.

let us know what you get.

[packmanuk]

Got it working. The ip on my dreambox was different to the dreamedit programme. Transfered files and everythings fine. Thanks everyone for your help.

Now i've got another problem though. The screen keeps changing between wide and 16.9 and other resolutions. When its on the pictures fine.

I don't think its the tv maybe the dvi cable ? Or do I need to change some settings ?

[bubbles69]

yes be settings av/settings change 4.3 to say just scale,.
