    sounds like the download server you are trying to use is not working what image you using

      What image are you using also is dhcp enabled although I expect this is not the problem as you can use dcc

          "can't resolve hostname" RESOLVED

          hi all,
          sorted my"can't resolve hostname" problem.
          the problem being my belkin router did not have the latest firmware,so once i loaded the new firmware "bingo" the dreambox connected straight away.
          so anyone else having same problem,make sure your router has the latest firmware.
