Dbox In Ireland

From a other forum (only for pace boxes):

on your subscription box unplug from wall socket then on the box press and hold all the time the up and down arrow buttons on the box

then plug in the power still holding down on these buttons you will get a engineers menu then let go of the down and up buttons

in there you will find your netid and frequency and symbol rate

press the right arrow on subscription box to flick through the pages where you will find this information

if you are ready unplug and replug the subscription box without pressing the buttons

 

default freq 291.000 MHz

 

A network scan via NTL cable Dublin or NTL cable W+G should be functional.
Are you sure fast scan/manual scan is disabled.

 

yes fast scan off, manual scan off.

 

Either network scan is botched in your image or the network information table is missing in Galway.
Try NTL Dublin bf.

 

dont hav ntl dublin bruteforce just cableIE bruteforce

 

Use the irish cables.xml from page 49 (irish8.zip).

 

using FTP right?

 

Right, the cables.xml goes to /var/tuxbox/config.
If you can see the old cables.xml you are in the right subfolder at the box.
Delete the file scan.conf in the same folder after uploading the cables.xml and pull the plug at the dbox.

 

having problems finding a decent guide to ftp ive downloaded the services.xml and filezilla ftp but cant find out how to tranfer the files. i flashed the image using ifa that was easy ftp seems trickier.

 

Looks to me like you need a booster mate,signal is a bit low.
Get the SLX1P from Argos you can bring it back if it does not work for you.

 

Different signal strength at the frequencies is not common for a cable network.
If some frequencies are good the signal should be alright.

 

Agreed but the booster is a no lose situation,
Try it if it doesn't work bring it back.

 

Box and pc must be in the same subnet. Set the pc network card to the fixed ip 192.168.0.2 and the box to 192.168.0.24.
Type 192.168.0.24 and root for usierid and dbox2 for password in the quick connect line of filezilla and let connect.
If you get a connect the left window represending the pc and the right window the box. Open the right subfolder at the box, select the cables.xml at the pc side with a right click of the mouse and select upload.
At the box side select scan.conf with a right click and select delete.

 

sorry if i sound slow but i dont get some of this this is what i tried:
Pc network card = tcp/ip properties ??????
insert ip adress: 192.168.0.2
subnet mask :255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.0.24
turned off windows firewall

then in filezila
host- 192.168.0.24 username: root password:dbox2 port: left blank
then i pressed quickconnect but i couldn't connect

where am i going wrong? probably everywhere right?

 

Box and pc must be connected via crossover cable.
The box ip must be set to 192.168.0.24 in your case.
Save settings and restart network at the dbox.
Gateway at the pc doesn't matter. It can be set to 0.

 

Default port for ftp is 21. You shouldn't overwrite the default with a other value.

 

tried again
had both cables connected went to network connections > right click > properties> double click on internet protocol> use following ip address> entered 192.168.0.24 for ip address
subnet mask 255.255.255.0. . pressed ok and ok again
opened filezilla
entered host: 192.168.0.24 username: root password; dbox2 port: 0
then pressed quickconnect got error messages connection timed out, could not connect to server.

 

mgb17- Thanks a million for you help. For the third day in a row this box has worn me out! i've got to get some kip and take it on again tomorrow. If it wasn't for you and the good people on this forum I wouldnt have a clue what to do. cheers m8

 

You cannot connect via port 0. Type 21 for the ftp port and use 192.168.0.2 for the IP at the pc for the network card in use.
The IP 192.168.0.24 is the targed adress for filezilla. The box must be set to 192.168.0.24 in your case.
