    DM500s network connection issue

    Hi,

    I have a strange problem. My dreambox 500s is unable to connect with the LAN (gives me network setup is not ok when I test it through the communication menu) while I can access it through DCC, Flashwizard and web interface?
    Network and DHCP are both selected, any clue?

    Untick Dhcp and use a static ip address, With Dhcp enabled it sometimes clashes with other wifi things in the home like laptops,ipods etc.

      Unticked the DHCP, typed another IP, netmask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway and the nameserver are both 192.168.1.1, still nothing

      BTW, is it enough to type another IP address or do I've to configure the router?

      Thanks

        The Nameserver and the Gateway should be the same Ip address these share the same as the router,
        If your router ip is 192.168.1.1 make the ip of the Dm500 something like 192.168.1.100 so it doesnt clash with anything else in the house.
        Netmask is ok.
        Take it you have ethernet from router to Dm?

          No I'm connecting the box through a switch & changed the IP
          Still I'm able to login through the web interface only but the box isn't connected to the Internet (i.e. the cccam server is offline & the network connection isn't ok), any clue?

            Hi
            Try turning off the security settings in your router.

              Tried that as well. nothing works.
              Strange to see the box is able to download plugins from the server, get the time from the internet, connects with Flash wizard & DCC but the communication isn't OK (i.e. IP & netmask buttons are red while testing)

                  Had the same issue with my previous flash Gemini 4.7, I've tried almost every possible solution but Network Communication Setup kept coming back with not ok. That's when Andy advised me to try PLi Jade image, since then everything works flawlessly with minimum setup.
