    piopat, well done on a year where you have supported all dreambox users beyond the call of duty. your tutorials have been exact and have helped multiple users. so have a great christmas and take great satisfaction on how many you have helped in 2010. I have no doubt you will be there for similar users in 2011.

    Hi Guys,
    Im struggling a bit here with external shares.
    I currently have 2 dm500s (both on internal wan, but that shouldnt matter?)

    I have a dysdns.tv account which i have entered into the C line of my client as described by pio.

    I downloaded the dyndns updater so i think its ok.
    Then i went to portforward.com , found the guide for my netopia 2247 router and fixed my laptop to static ip as 192.168.1.150

    I dont know why i had to do that??

    I then went into the config page for my router and setup a custom NAT service to my dm500s on port 12000. I used tcp here instead of UDP. Is that ok?

    Now also because i have 2 dm500s inside a WAN i had 2 options here in the dropdown NAT menu to assign to port 12000. I assume this is my server and client dm500s respectively. I've tried portforwarding to both, and got no luck either way

    I tried the portforward port tester and it said it found my network but not my router on port 12000 so that indicates my portforward is ok to my dm500s right?

    Im out of idea's onwhat to try next though...
    Anyone?
    Thanks Guys!

    you also need to lower the firewall settings on the router ,give that a try and see if it helps.

    I currently have the firewall turned off on the router...

    I wonder how i could test all this to see which part is broken. Can a dm500s 'ping' another dm500s?

    the netopia 2247 is fairly easy to open a port on ,in define custom service (port forward range of ports should be set ) then click on next ,service name can be what you like i just typed in the box ip address ,then put 12000 in all 3 boxes (if 12000 is the port you want to use),set protocol to tcp and click on next .and click on done ,click on the little arrow where you see service name and select the service you just created ,then click on enable and you should see select host device if all is well you should see your server box (dm500) click on that and then click on enable ,job done. now here is port tool from dyndns.com
    http://www.dyndns.com/support/tools/openport.html
    where you see host and port first type in your dyndns hostname and then the port you have opened and click on send ,usually if a message comes back connection timed out the problem is one of two things ,the router firewall (which should be set to low ) or the port is still not open in which case you need to go back and review your router settings. the only other thing it could be after that is if your server box does not have a static ip address (you need to disable dhcp in communication setup on the server box) if the box does have a static ip check in your dyndns account to ensure that the ip address you entered when creating your dyndns hostname is the same as the ip in the server box.

    Hello,
    I'm looking to buy a dm800-se (with both dvb-c/s tuners) from a local supplier to use with my virgin media xl cable sub.

    Am I right in saying that N3 will prevent channel decode by default but if I setup cccam I can watch channels on my cable sub? At the mo i'm not looking to share externally would just like to watch my own sub and stream channels to my laptop.

    Am new to this scene but am willing to put the hard work in by reading through the information provided, I guess I'm just looking for someone to confirm that it's technically possible so I can justify buying the dm800-se.

    Hope I've posted in the right place.
