A NEWBIES GUIDE TO SETTING UP A DM500S FOR CARDSHARING

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.


------------------------------------------
Thanks Pio
This is it i think.
I definitely didnt do this.
And i can't see how to do it either.

The only box i can see to enter an IP address on dyndns.com settings page, is for the external wan ip address.
Other than that there are a list of app's to use with my service. None look right?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
What do you want to use this host for?
Select services and devices you would like to use with this hostname.
Work From Home Office or VPN:
vpn remote file access remote desktop mail server web server chat server ftp backup ssh database voip
Hosting and Design For Web Sites and Blogs:
blog gallery wiki portfolio ecommerce web page
Remote Access For Devices:
dvr webcam data storage cctv printer alarm and security thermostat weather station game server home automation

 

click on this link
http://www.dyndns.com/
now you will see dynamic dns service highlighted in blue (click on that) and then click on create free hostname .and you will be here
https://www.dyndns.com/account/services/hosts/add.html
the first thing you will see is hostname (this can be anything you like )next to that you see dyndns.? (click on the little arrow and choose an extension from the drop down box) .service type is the next thing to look at (it should have host with ip address selected by default ,but if not select that option) below that you will see ip address (this is where you type in the static ip address of your server box. after that you should be able to go to the next stage without choosing an option from what do you want to use this host name for but if not choose game server. the next stage is creating your dyndns account by choosing your username/password and entering your email etc ,once that is done download the updater and install it in your pc and then open it and put in your dyndns account details username /password (it should then say synchronising ).

kayoshi sorry to say there is more to using a dm800c with your cable card than just installing cccam ,if it was as simple as that everyone would have their own cable server ,however you can use the satellite side for cardsharing with cccam.

 

I received a DM800hd pvr for xmas. Set it up last night and had all working fine.
Switched it off and when turned it back on only fta channels working.
C-line is fine, and cccam 2.1.4 installed. Network test is all green. Cannot figure out what has changed. cline working fine in dm500. Anybody any suggestions?

 

Oh so the ip i enter in this box is my dm500s ip internally?
I thought this would be the ip of my external wan?

 

make sure cccam 214 is set as the default

 

you will see below the ip address (your current locations ip address is )so they have your external ip address ,so in the ip box put in the static ip address of your dm500s .after all its your box (with the card in it) that your clients want to connect to.

 

So in that ip address box i should have 192.168.1.15, which is my dm500s server?

 

if thats the static ip address of your dm500s yes mate.

 

I have changed the cccam a few times trying to fix the problem, even with cccam set as 2.1.4 I am no getting channels. this has me beaten for about 7 hours now.

 

Perfect!
Thanks Pio, that was the problem...
I thought that that ip was supposed to my external wan address but as you say its my internal dm500s box.

So now its all working inside a lan, even though its searching externally for the dm500s server. Tomorrow i'll try taking my client dm500s to another house and hope for the best...
Thanks again Pio!

 

your wellcome mate .

 

what is the image you are using

 

enigma2 experimental 07.21.2010, thats from the info, it was the image that came on the box, reason I have not changed is that it was working last night.

 

not sure i can help you then mate not had any dealings with the dm800 i would suggest you change the image and start a fresh but do be sure you get the correct image if then you get no joy maybe piopat or fint can help

 

Sound Dan, Thanks for the help

 

You may need to restart CAM, when you installed Cccam 2.14 you should have set it as default
cam so when box reboots Cccam will restart automatically

 

Cam 2.14 is the default, it is started after each reboot, have checked the cline 20 times. all seems to be ok. added the cccam info plugin and it isnt picking up any client info, should it be?

 

no client info will only be shown if the your box is the server

 

Yes it should show you that server is on line... so in ccam info go to servers and see is he on line it will be green if is or red if not and if you cant see your server will then go back and check cline

 

yes but thats not client info
