[piopat]

it depends on your box but there are options ,option 1 is a dm500,option 2 is for cable.option 3 and 4 or for newer boxes such as dm800hd/dm500hd .

what should the network settings be on the dream

What are you asking, i don't understand, your network can either be assigned by dhcp or static depends on what you want. Is this what your asking ?

[porter1]

ye its on dhcp at the moment,would that affect connecting via dream edit,because even dcc fails at the minute to connect
nameserver and default gateway ,not sure of these settings ,thanks

[Bulld0g]

Check your router and see what ip address is assigned to the box and enter this address into any ftp programme your going to use

[porter1]

should that setting go in the dream somewhere aswell,doesnt connect still on dcc,ive never used router ip before on dcc when it was connecting,dont wanna be a pain

[Bulld0g]

Go into your router page, 192.168.1.1 or whatever it is, go to dhcp and look for the address of your box. Open up dcc or whatever the ftp is your using and put the address of your box there, username= root password = dreambox providing these havent neen changed, and you should be able to connect and ftp over, what you want
