Shy Channels on sat with dreambox 500s

cant seem to get msk sports on freq 11.488 v 27500 any help

 

joe men and motors seems to be gone ,as for rte/tv3 they are only available on an irish sly subscription so you would need to have a server with an irish card .if you have a fixed dish pointed at astra/eurobird 28 east than thats the only satellite you can view ,if you want to view other channels on satellites you would need to either to add a second lnb to your dish (giving you say hotbird 13 east and sly 28 east) however if your dish is a standard sly dish it will likely be to small to recieve a strong signal from both sats ,an 80 cm dish is more suitable for this purpose. you could of course install a motorised system.luke glad to help if i can mate.

 

pudzy their both on 11.680 v 27500 mate.

 

thanks m8, grateful.

 

Hi Folks

I thought I would throw this out to all the kind people at afterdawn that have helped me so much with my cable boxes in the past.

After ALOT of help from Piopat I managed to get my dreambox 500s running on the darkstar 11 image sharing internally with another 500s, everything working fine.

So next in my thurst for knowledge for things I dont have a clue about I thought I would try and set up external sharing!!! bad idea I now have one thread of hair left!!

Followed piopat guide for dummies to try and set it up, set up my dyndns account which seems to be good running off the host ip of my broadband, set up my port 12000 on my router, set a static ip for my computer then entered my C and F lines on my client and server boxes but unfortunalty it does not seem to work.

It says on the client box that I have one server set up but it is offline and no card in it.

So really hoping that someone here can give me some help or advise on what to look for.

Thanks in advance

callum have you set the server box a static ip address and then put that ip address in to your dyndns account . are you sure the port is definately open on your router ,the client box is seeing you as offline so i would think its either the port is not open or dyndns is not set with the correct ip address (static server ip address) double and triple check everything .if you have read all through this thread you will see i had a lot of problems my self at first ,quite a few were little errors i made in my haste and it took a few checks to spot them .you may think your doing it all wrong when in fact its most likely you are 99% correct and there is just one small thing that your missing ,recheck your f and c lines and remember you need a different f line in your server box for each box sharing with you and also delete the # symbol from any line that you are using in cccam.cfg.

 

That seems to be my problem I can put my server box static ip in my dyndns account but when the updater runs it automatically syncs with my broadband ip and there does not seem to anyway of manually change the ip on the updater

But your right im getting so pi**ed off with it all that most likely I have missed something really simple which is making it not work. I will try and go over your guide from the start and make sure I have everything right.

Hi have you entered your boxkey in your CCam config file?

 

Hi

yeah I have the box key in and working I set it up for internal sharing and that worked fine it's just the extra couple of things for external sharing that I'm struggling with.

Lads,
I don't understand why you are putting the Server (dreambox) static Ip into the DYNDNS account ??
It is hidden behind the router.Dyndns cannot do anything with a LAN IP.
In my view you should put your current external IP into the dyndns account, with an updater installed to make sure your account is updated should your ISP or your router change your external IP.
Otherwise just buy a static IP from your ISP.There is no need to use dyndns account at all then.

Here is the path from client to server:

From it's C line your client gets to your router using external IP address ie Dyndns if set up or Static external static IP from your ISP.
When at your router it knows to look at port 12000, again from the c line.
In your router port 12000 is mapped to the (static) IP of your dreambox.
Connection is made.
A good check is if you enter your dydns (or static external IP) through a proxy or from a machine outside your network you should be presented with a log screen for your dreambox server.

 

Hi glog

I have just tried putting my external ip address in my dyndns account but still cant seem to get it to work, I tried putting my ip in the address bar as suggested but it says theres no such page what does that mean?? does that mean I have set my router up wrong??

Thanks

What type of router have you got ? Have you tried to check if your port is showing open using canyouseeme.org (or similar) ?
If port is showing open, and your dreambox server is set to static IP (same as in router) then it looks like you dyndns setup is incorrect.
The 'Your IP address' shown in Canyouseeme is what should be in your dyndns account.

 

I have a netgear DG834G, I checked to see if the port was open with the tool on the portforwarding website and it says it is open.

My dreambox server has a static ip set and my dyndns account seems set up right, I wonder if its maybe set up wrong on my wireless??

I will check canyouseeme when i get home from work then hopefully I will know more.

on the netgear router did you enter your dyndns details,0n the left of your screen you should see dynamic dns (enter your dyndns host name etc in there),in services (also on the left of screen )click on add custom service .give the service a name maybe something like cardsharing and a port (port 12000),in firewall rules (again left of screen)on inbound services click to enable ,service name is cardsharing,action = allow always,server ip address = box ip ,users =any ,log = never ,of course save as you go and your router should now work fine for external sharing .you said above your port says open thats great,and the static ip is set thats great so it should work now.just make sure you have a seperate f line for the external share in the server box ,2 boxes cant share an f line.

 

Hi folks

The drama never ends with me, one minute when I checked my 12000 port it said it was open but now it says its closed but I did everything I was suppose to do I think.

Any suggestions??

unfortunatly with cs one small error will stop it working ,the only thing is to try to stay calm (easy to say i know ,but ive been there myself)and go back over your settings as often as it takes and look closely for any small error.here are a few guides and the dyndns support page.

http://www.everythingon.tv/ this is not really on this topic but this site is not bad it has sky sports on it, better than nothing

 

there is already a thread about this

 

Quick one, have been asked to look at a DM500S which was fine, ( I plugged it in in my own house and everything was hunky dory ).

Gave it back to the guy ( a neighbour ) and when he connected it to his broadband and sat it would not clear anything.

It is set to DHCP and picked up the correct settings in my house, but when we connected it in his, there was a mismatch between the box IP (192.168.0.0) the nameserver/gateway which was 192.168.1.254 (eircom router).

I knocked off the DHCP setting and manually set the box IP to 192.168.1.9 thinking that this would get it working, rebooted and still no joy!!

I KNOW I am missing something simple but what is it???!!!

 

hit the reset button on the back of router m8, hold for 15 sec about, everything should reset, then reboot box. that should set you right
