Great guide thommo, thanks.
Remember if you've disabled your AU in the camd_cfg file, you'll need to enable it.
Code:
# AU
# 00 is ignored (default)
# 01 enable AU
# 02 AU Auto
A: { 02 }

Also here's a wee note regarding ip addresses.
Cables - if you are connecting the dreambox direct to the PC, you need a 'crossover ethernet cable'. If you are connecting it via a router, a 'standard', 'patch' or 'crossover' ethernet cable can be used.
See the attached pic.
The circled areas are called the 'subnet'. Think of this as a street name and the last number of the ip address is the house number. The subnet is basically your network address. If you want each device to talk each other, they need to be on the same network, i.e. have the same subnet.
So all your devices need to start 192.168.0 or 192.168.1, you can't have both.
Chances are your router ip address will be either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.
The best and easiest way to connect the dreambox to the internet is to connect it to one of the ports on your router. This way the dreambox has access to the internet even when your PC is switched off. If you want to connect it to the net through an additional nic in your PC, you will have to enable internet sharing so that the 2nd nic connects to the net through the 1st nic. It's a pain in the ass so I suggest connecting the dream to your router, if possible.
Let's assume you do this.
Go back to the pic, in the Gateway: section, you need to put the ip address of your router in here. Your router will be the dreamboxes gateway to the internet and it needs to know where it is. Forget about the nameserver just now, that's used if you have DHCP enabled.
For exmaple...
Router - 192.168.1.1
PC - 192.168.1.2
Dream - 192.168.1.3
Laptop1 - 192.168.1.4
Laptop2 - 192.168.1.5
Gaming adapter for 360 - 192.168.1.6
etc etc etc...you get the idea. Each device is a house on your street.
If you're not sure what your router ip address is, open your browser and start typing in the following ip addresses one by one. The one that brings up a username and password box is the routers ip address.
192.168.0.1
192.168.1.1
192.168.2.1
If you're conencting the dreambox direct to your PC, you don't need to put anything in the Gateway or Nameserver sections, leave these blank. You only need to make sure that the dreambox and PC are on the same subnet and also have a different last number.
For example,
Dreambox - 192.168.1.5
PC - 192.168.1.6
To change the ip address of your network, you need to go to:
Control Panel
Network Connections
right click on network adapter and select properties
Select the TCP/IP tab and select properties
Usually if you use that ethernet port on your PC for the internet, in this page, the 'Obtain an IP address automatically' will be checked. You need to choose the next option down from this 'Assign an IP address'. Enter in the IP address in the example above. Then go to your dreambox and enter in the dreambox example above and reboot the dream.
All going well you should now get a connection when you connect using your ftp program.
Hope this helps.
