Dm500 and Crossover cable

[rutters]

Having connected my laptop to my Dm500 via crossover cable I find that I can't connect to it using Filezilla.

Do I need to change the settings in either FileZilla or Dreambox?

I'm currently getting

'Connection established, waiting for welcome message...'

followed by

'Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server'

cheers

i never used filezilla, I use dreambox control center.maybe you could give it a go.

put ip of dreambox
and username and pass of dreambox
in Filezilla
leave the port box in Filezilla blank


if it dont Connect

open port 21 in router
and try again

Filezilla pisses all over dreambox control center
as most of you know

[rutters]

I did as you said to no avail..

Re: Router..how do I open port 21?

btw my laptop nor Dm is cabled to the router.

[davvo]

no router
To open ftp port 21 you need to change windows firewall settings

this is for xp




Open ftp port 21 on windows XP operating system

[andymc1s]

put ip of dreambox
and username and pass of dreambox
in Filezilla
leave the port box in Filezilla blank


if it dont Connect

open port 21 in router
and try again

OK here's what I've done so far.

Laptop ip made static..set ip to..192.168.1.1

Dm unticked DHCP..set ip to192.168.1.2

Successfully transfered file using FileZilla

What do I now need to re-set to get things going please?

[davvo]

now you got FileZilla working
what are you trying to do ??
FileZilla lets you transfer files from one place to another

its a FTP program

What do I now need to re-set to get things going please?

then how are you getting the dreambox an internet connection

[rutters]

Its connecting thru the laptop via crossover cable I presume.

[davvo]

how is your laptop connecting to the net
have you got proper broadband ie phone/cable line
or a plug in dongle

[rutters]

My laptop is receiving broadband from my router downstairs.

[davvo]

then buy some home plugs or a wireless bridge
