    cross over cable goes direct from laptop to dreambox
    ethernet/patch cable goes from laptop to router then router to dreambox
    or laptop wireless to router then router to dreambox
    most routers you can still use the crossover cable or ethernet from laptop to router or router to dreambox
    hope this makes sense

      You only need a crossover cable if you don't have router otherwise just stick with a ethernet/patch cable.
