Shy Channels on sat with dreambox 500s

image is irrelevant. all that matters is correct cccam setup. if you had a working situation prior to loading image then it should also work afterwards. many images available on the web are corrupt. so its trial and error

 

I have loaded darkstar2 added transponders, back to free to air,then I go to load edit cccam, and it is not there, do I have to load every cam back on to the dreambox 500s, i erased averything on re-loading Darkstar , get all three with greenline, go to edit cccam, but not there to edit.Sorry i'm repeating myself. Any help please.

 

you must be online with the box. therefore use the blue button to download cccam 2.1.4. next use flashfxp to transfer cccam.cfg from /var/etc to your local computer. then put whatever information you need to put in there and transfer it back to /var/etc

 

Thanks fintannl, I will try later as I have to go out for now.
I will let you know later if it works.

 

hi all ihave a problem with dreambox 500,i have a dm 600 as server for 20 clients no problems there,but i got a dreambox 500 for a neighbour and set up the clines and flines accordingly but when i try to connect to my server the cccam info says 4 online but no cards and a red dot before it ,has any one ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

 

I would say if you got all that set up yourself, you probably know more about this stuff than most of the people on here!!

If you want to PM me a cline, I could test it for you !!

 

ok this is doing my head in!!!i started a few months ago learning as much as i could about cs,bought a dm 600 a cyfra card and tried to share,got as far as seeing the clines sent to me and opened channels but could not share my card,found out that i had to upgrade my isp to business package so i could port forward and share my card,job done so i thought!!!sharing no problem with fellows from europe,got another dm 600 for bedroom a dm 800 for sitting room all internal and sharing no problem,now i want to share with my brother on the same isp and all i'm getting is server online 0 cards seen, have put a cline from one of my clients in brothers box and it works but put my cline in and it does'nt. his box is a dm 500 my isp is permanet any ideas please!!!!!?????

 

its a typo in your client cccam.cfg cline as compared to the fline on your server. it happens. maybe you forgot to put the port in the cline, maybe the username and password just do not match (check uppercase, lowercase), maybe your dyndns hostname is not spelt correctly and of course always restart the cam after putting the new cccam.cfg in /var/etc. what i suggest you do is put the working cline from your other client in the cccam.cfg then modify it as necessary as you wish for your brother. then go to your server and double check that username and password is the same. also check that the parameters after the username and password in the fline on the server do in fact correspond to the working client line that you have used on your brothers machine

 

hi fintannl,thing is when i type my dyndns into my browser it goes to my dreambox,when i goto my brothers house 100 yards away with the same provider no luck ,also checked with 2 neighbours same result yet i'm sharing with europe and sg8 can see me aswell!!?????????

 

ok for starters its really dangerous to be allowing access on port 80 on your router to your dreambox. next, lets get the basics sorted. when you check the brothers dreambox via blue button can you confirm that the dreambox has a valid ip address. you should also be able to login to the brothers modem and verify that the modem has assigned a valid ip address to the dreambox. please confirm that this is the case first

 

thanks for your time fintanll, dreambox is password protected ,dreambox has valid ip all connected,can use dcc and ftp and add clines no problem

 

weird. you should not be able to connect to your dreambox from a computer within your network. you should always get the router login page. also to be able to connect from your brothers house/neighbours house to your dreambox you must first port forward port 80 on your router to your dreambox internal ip. i suggest when you do this then you will be able to access the dreambox configuration page from your brothers house. and when you do this it only confirms my viewpoint that your cline or fline is not correctly written

cline would be
c: dyndnshostname 12000 username password no
fline would be
f: username password 2 0 1 { 0:0:1 }
please confirm this format and also confirm that you can access your dreambox from your brothers house after you port forward port 80 on your router. note once this test is complete you should remove this port forwarding.

also can you confirm that you are using cccam 2.1.4 on all boxes

 

Fintannl you say in youre post use ccam 2.1.4 yet piopat says use ccam 2.1.3 which is correct or does it matter once all boxes internal sharing have the same ccam

 

port 80 is forwarded in my router, still cannot connect to my dreambox from my brothers or neighbours ,from my own network i can connect to my own dreambox .must i have cccam 2.1.4 in all boxes?i have 2.1.3 in my server

 

no cccam 2.1.3 is fine on the server. ok if you have port 80 forwarded then it must be an ip update issue. can you check dyndns to make sure your ip is updated. also i suggest that you activate inadyn on your dreambox as a method of updating your ip. if this is ok then i get the impression that the port on your router to access the dreambox is being blocked. are you using port 12000. use portchecker to see that port is open

 

port 12000 is open, activated inadyn on my dreambox,whats bugging me is everyone else outside my isp can connect to me but anyone on the same isp can't and if i put one of my client clines in my brothers box he can connect!

 

mate, ya have me stuffed. all i can suggest is to give your brother your clients line and give your client a different line and ask him/her to connect on that instead. am a firm believer that when the technical answer isn't there just use what works. it shouldn't be a problem just to ask your client to use a new cline. sorry but i'm stumped on this one

 

thanks fintannl i'm at a loss as well,can't understand it, ah well plan b as you say

 

it could be an ip/mac clash just a thought but i share with a mate up the road and he has the same isp as me ,i went up to his house with his box with the c line in it and set it up but only got free channels (at the same time my brother rang from home and said his laptop wont go on line) and it hit me that my mates box is clashing with my brothers laptop (in effect my mates box is on my network and his router gave him the same ip as my brothers laptop so then neither worked )so i couldnt allow my mates router to set the box an ip i had to set it a static ip that didnt clash with any of my devices ips and it worked as did my brothers laptop. the other thing it may be is a mac address clash ,clones can sometimes have the same mac address and if you have 2 clones with this problem neither will work ,you can change the mac address .

 

Hi all

I have a Dreambox 500c and has lost all my channels aprt from the free view ones i bought this box already loaded please can someone help me get all my channels back as my weekends are so boring now

Please not to technical as im a uesless woman who needs some nice easy instructions or a nice man to fix it

Thanks
