Hi guys, right where do i start..I have a laptop with a wireless internet connection, a wireless router(obviously) and a DM500C dreambox with the "dream" or menu button not working for some strange reason. Ive downloaded flash fxp, ive connected the dreambox to my router using the ethernet cable that came with the router, im assuming the laptop doesn,t have to be connected to anything seein as its a wireless connection???..question(s) are: can I fix this without the menu button working? and im I connecting the equipment up correctly. any advice is very much apreciated.

Thanks ( a very frustrated scurders!! )

Great tutorial but I am having the same error as many others. I am able to see the contents of dreambox with my browser (Chrome) but am unable to connect using any FTP client.

Seems like the password is not standard

Msg from Filezilla:

Code:

Status:	Connecting to 192.168.1.10:21...
Status:	Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:	220 Welcome to the PLi dreambox FTP server
Command:	USER root
Response:	331 Please specify the password.
Command:	PASS ********
Response:	530 Login incorrect.
Error:	Critical error
Error:	Could not connect to server

Both my PC and Dreambox connect to router. Anyone knows how else (ID/password) to connect?

Hope someone can help but I deleted the files in keys folder but cannot transfer new keys it say 553 cannot create file

It all depends how you deleted those files in the first place. Did you uses DCC or just ftp and uses linux command?
if you can restart enigma those locked files usually will be back to either 644 or 755. failing that, you can attempt using those command under telent screen.
Let me know if you feel confident using command such as chmod, rm or ls

I just wanted to say a very big thank you for this very simple guide to updateing my dreambox. It was so simple and straight forward!

I wish I'd come here first instead of spending days on other forums getting messed around with their newbie rules!

You have helped to educate me in the use of my dreambox! (I bought it totally set up, so had very little knowledge of how to update it).

Thank you!

Colm

thanks for your words, i try to read most posts and from the posts i read i saw that a lot of people where struggling with it, to me and others its no problem but i did think if i was new would i understand it and the answer was no so i did the guide and tried to make it as non techy and straight forward as i could, and if people are having success then my intended guide with ease has done its job.

**smedzdave** · 19th April, 2008, 04:54 PM

Right i wonder if anyone can help me
Im using my cable modem to connect to my Dreambox 7025 ok, so heres what i am doing,

I am using a usb cable to conect my modem to my pc ( which is working)
then i have put my ethernet cable from the modem to the Dreambox.

Input the Ip address on the dreambox into the flashFXP
Typed root in the username
Typed dreambox into the Password
Clicked Connect
But it doesnt connect it says ''Connection Failed (Connection Timed Out)''

So am i doing anything wrong??
If So can someone please help me as i am now clueless as to what to do from here

Much apreciated
