I have assigned the Dreambox a static IP address in the router and it appears to have done the trick.

Thanks for the help.

This is really useful. I am struggling to get my DM800 up and running and have been trawling the internet to get things up and running. Whenever i find something useful it is invariably written by Opsmonkey. Good concise clear advice - good work fella!

i downloaded a hacked copy of "network magic" , when ever a device connects to my network , all info is accessed thru it , its proved handy for me
