3G dongle

[skydive80]

Hi again guys

I want to take my box around my friends house who has a sat dish but no internet at his house so i was wondering if i could use a PAYG 3G dongle to get all my channels and would it take a lot of bandwidth?
I have DM800 with the blackhole phonix.

Many thanks

Do not think a 3G dongle can be plugged directly into a DM800 as it needs to be configured, can be used through a router quite effectively though. uses very little BW.

3G dongles need drivers to make them work, and the DM800 doesn't have them. You can get it to work by using a 3G router, then connecting the Dreambox to the router, or even by using a latop and Internet connection sharing.

Also, CS doesn't use much bandwidth but its "time critical", meaning even a little drop in signal will result in a few glitches/freezes.

I could be wrong, but I think that's how it works atm.

I have tried the internet sharing when trying to make my xbox go on line via my laptop but with no luck using xp, I think I might have to go down the Linux aircrack way but would love to do it via 3g or get my laptop to go wireless

hi

How to connect dream box using 3g, GPRS or HSPA


1. Connect your USB dongle to computer and connect to the internet.
2. goto run menu and type cmd or
accessories Command Prompt/ Programs /start
3. you will get dos command screen
4. type ipconfig
5. You will be given two ip settings, you might see on top 192.168.0.1 or some ip range.
7. Connect your dream box to tv and connect your computer also, if you connect using directly, you should use cross cable to connect your computer.
8. you should share your network connection, to do that
network connections / settings
9. start select your 3G or GPRS connection.
10. click right mouse button and select properties and select advance tab on the dialog box and on the internet connection sharing tab select allow user to share my internet connection


click ok button and close it

Then go to dreambox on the set ip address as if you computer ip communication settings settings menu is 192.168.0.1 then select your ip as 192.168.0.2 then Set gateway as your computer ip ?192.168.0.1? and name server also same ip rest of the things same.

Save it and close

Wait till online comes and try to browse channels
