Shy Channels on sat with dreambox 500s

Nice one Pio, ya this one has me stumped for some reason!!!

 

gary, two things to check. first identify the ip address of your server, by going into setup and checking your network connection data. Now make sure that dhcp is not enabled on this server box by unticking dhcp. so now you have established the internal ip address of your server (it will look like 192.168.x.x) then you need to go into your router and port forward port 12000 to the ip address of your server. with your clients, all of these should be dhcp enabled. hope this helps

 

Hi Fintan,

At work now but I'll switch off dhcp on the server box when I go home.

I do know the IP of it is 192.168.1.113 AND it does seem to be pretty static.

Thanks for that. Not sure how to change the port forwarding on the Solwise Home Plugs?

Thanks for your help.
Gary

 

its not on the home plugs. its in your router. otherwise it is not possible for client to communicate with server. are you using eircom router, in which case your router can be found at 192.168.1.254, login, go to advanced and setup port 12000 port forwarding to 192.168.1.113. and make sure to untick dhcp on server box, because if you turn server off and on again it will otherwise get new ip adress and your portforwarding will no longer work

 

Sorry I guess I didn't make it clear, I'm doing a local card share so I dont need port forwarding to the outside world.

 

you do need port forwarding to your server be it local or worldwide

 

Right, the thing is I don't have a router as such, just a load of home plugs and the satellite internet coming in on one??

 

gary, i think i need to backtrack on what i last said. now that i think of it, it should be possible to share internally without router port forwarding. so you have satellite internet. now correct me if i'm wrong but no matter what internet type you have you simply must have a modem to handle the communication between the satellite and your pc. so i don't think what you say can be true. you cannot directly connect a satellite connection into a homeplug and expect it to work unless the modem is in fact integrated in the satellite ariel and you simply won't be able to get at it. If this is the case what i suggest is that you buy something like a dlink dir301 (ie a simple router) and you connect all your clients through this. i'm at a loss to understand how your network can assign internal ip addresses for connected clients without having a modem. it simply does not make sense

 

Ya not really sure of the workings of those home plugs.

In the attic the satellite signal comes in to what you might call a modem (tiny white unbranded box) with one network cable output, which is joined to a home plug putting the signal into the power supply.

I can get internet from any plug socket in the house using one of these homeplugs.

The thing is that this used to work I had four boxes working at one stage and I can still get online from all the boxes, the problem is all but one box think the master is offline when it's obviously not??

I've swapped plugs (master and slave) and swapped boxes but I've 2/3 that see the master as being offline for some reason??

 

clear this up for me. lets take the box that is not working, if you put a working client box into the same position of the not working client box does the working one now stop working

 

I've been following this thread for several months and I've set up my DM500S clone for cardsharing. I've flashed it with a pli jade image and installed cc**m. Its working very well. I'm using the s*y dish that's still up from my old s*y subscription days. I've even moved the dish over to hotbird and picked up all channels.

Now what I would like to do is install a motorised dish. Can anyone answer the following please?

Will a motorised dish work with a clone DM500S?

Will the satellite move automatically when I switch between satellites and how does it know where to move to?

Can anyone recommend a motorised dish package. Does this one look OK?

Your help is much appreciated,
Steve

 

hi guys having a little trouble with my dm500s on an external share my server box is only allowing one box to connect at a time. how do i change the amount of boxes that can connect. both boxes connect and work fine but not at the same time

 

Hi guys, please can anyone help me setup a server so that I can share my card with my brothers, is there any tutorial available how to setup a share?

thanks

think i sorted it

 

hi gary i think i see what ur problem is as i have had a similar problem when you create ur cccam.cfg in ur server box it looks to me like ur setting all ur boxs to reshare which then when ur first box connects blocks the server from sharing to more boxes so all you need to do is redo ur cccam.cfg and select no reshare if this helps let me no as its the first time i have tried to help and im fairly new myself sorry for butting in fint

 

dan, don't even think of it. we all live and learn. but reshare levels are not the issue. you can offer reshare to the nth level. the issue is that gary is seeing zero cards. usually this is an internet failure, either at client or at server but when both are local then i suspect cline is not corresponding with fline. having said that piopat put out a really useful post on how mac address clashes can cause havoc on an internal network. so i think gary has to do a bit of reading. and dan i for sure don't know everything. we are just here as a forum, not an individual, to help users.

 

thanks dan, I am reading through it now

 

Im thinking about setting up the card sharing with dreambox 500 but it seems to be pretty difficult. What are the odds on encountering problems I wonder? I am aware to everyones credit on here that all problems are eventually sorted. If I follow instructions carefully and methodically hopefully I wont be here asking loads of questions....

 

most probably you will encounter some problems but this is a fantastic forum with some fantastic members with alot of knowledge am sure you will be fine
