    Have you got a router and if so what is the ip address of the router?

      I connect my pc by wifi with a usb dongle to a BT 2wire 2700 hgv router the signal strength varies from low to very good the ip of the router which ive just gone down stairs and checked is 86.143.73.111
      Got into the router and it says Dreambox connected by wireless scratching me head now

        in the dreambox
        put the router ip in the gateway bit of the adapter settings
        and make sure you add the netmask setting as well
        which should be in your router settings also
        dm800-s=1.1 m triax motorised dish=titanium twin lnb

          Remove the ip address of your router or at least mask it as we don't want you to be traced by anyone not that you are up to anything mischevious. On your pc if you do Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig /all you should see a lot of info. Amongst this there should be something like nameserver or DNS server you need to input that as well in your dm800 network settings.
