    if your dreambox is connected to the internet just digit in your browser your hostname or your db ip address you will get the webif of your db there you can select: remote control etc etc

        If your dreambox is connected to the internet through your router than it is a little bit more involved to access it over the internet. You need to set up dns hostname and than you need to make sure that you port forward this dns hostname through router to your dreambox.

          If you have not a host name set up, simply direct your browser to the port that you opened for your db to connect on the internet, for example if you opened port 80 in your router and your ip address is 73.54.89.0 type in your browser: http://73.54.89.0:80

                          If you have already set up dns hostname for your dreambox than you need to set your router to forward the request to your dreambox. Have read through this for port forwarding routers ;

                              Not sure about anyone else but you have lost me now; are you talking about the dyndns site, port forwarding site or your dns host?
