Thanks mate just what i needed to know
I had a few messages since joining regarding Port Forwarding.. so below find a helpful (maybe) aide memoire..
To 'port forward' you first need to log into your router.. most routers this can be done by opening your browser and typing in 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.1.1
If this is sucsessful you should get a username and password prompt.. the UN & PW can normally be found on a sticker underneath the router...
Once logged in port forwarding can be found under the Advanced option..
Now i can only go by how to do it on my router which is a Netgear..
Select port forwarding over port triggering.. then you need to add a service.. On mine i chose AIM then under the IP address i entered the IP of my Dreambox which you should know or can find out when using the DCC..
Then i just chose what port (number) i wanted open which like most people is 12000
Save all then log out of router..
Simple
Please feel free to add any info anyone as ive got a basic but working knowledge..!
Thanks mate just what i needed to know
right here we go
my router is tp link tl-wr841n
to start i type in my browser the ip of router
it goes to menu in the menu i select forwarding
it opens a sub menu
1 virtual server
2 port triggering
3 dmz
4 upnp
i select virtual server i then choose 12000 as my service port
protocol i keep all ticked
the status is enabled
i then have an option for common service port do i leave it or select one of the following from the sub menu
dns,http,ftp,gopher,nntp,pop3smtb,sock and telnet
i save without selecting any
where am i going wrong?
what ip address have you put in..?
192.168.1......?
what options do you have under the protocol drop down menu..?
i have had a play about it may now work thing is i dont know how to check
in answer to your question i put in 192.168.1.1. this brings up the router settings
in the protocol i choose all
the other options are tcp or udp
no what ip address have you put in the router settings..?
if you have put in 192.168.1.1 in the router settings this is wrong.. you need to put the ip address of your DB in the router settings as this is the equipment you want the router to open the port for..
i.e. my settings would look like this:
Service Port: 12000
IP Address: **********
Protocol: ALL
Status: Enabled

yep mate.. your up.. i can see you now.. your in the green..!
if your box keeps crashing change to CCcam 2.0.9
CCcam 2.10 has been crashing some boxes
sorted m8 i think it may have crashed cos i have been doing a lot of pissing about upstairs and also recording im a celebrity for the missus(so i think thats gone tits up)
anyways i dunno if you caught the last edit you can see me up and running right how do i see you or anyone i share with
thanks for all your help m8 youve been a godsend and your a scouse
you need CCcam Control Centre and DCC (dreambox control centre)
PM me your email & i'll mail you them
@thered I can see you are green on mine as well. I also found CCcam 2.0.10 troublesome and reverted back CCcam 2.0.9. I use the s/w below for monitoring my shares.
Better programme.. thanks m8
right more problems
for some reason that file curious will not work for me as it keeps opening internet explorer which for some unknown reason does not work very well on my computer
i always use firefox for my browser is there a way of using it with firefox instead
