    dan, had a rethink on what you said and now that you say it i do remember i had to remove
    the stuff in brackets after the username and password to get my internal share to work. i also had to remove the 'no' at the end of the cline. gary, give it a go and see if it helps

    jhammer02.

    Use home plugs, connect one into router, and the other into your 600.

    these units come in pairs, and can be had from maplins or peats, or you can get them on ebay, I bought a pair for 80euro, and another on ebay for 50 including postage, so look around before buying.I think this the info you are looking for.

    Hubabuba Thanks
    This is a good idea, but I was wondering is there a way to install a wifi on the box so that it connects to the wifi router wirelessly?

    For those who have been following the never ending conclusion to the 800 box
    they have finalybroke off communication with me, with no result, other than pay the charges to have the unit sent back, its cheaper to buy a new tunar, as i think that is the problem. So BEWARE of buying from "DREAMINTHEBOX".

    And just to add I thought i was secure with paying by PAYPAL, again beware that Irish buyers are not covered by their insurance when you receive a broken item, having spoken to their rep, she informed me that the warranty does not cover Ireland at this time but may in the future, which begs the question why pay by PAYPAL? when you are not covered,your warranty covers only the EU. They dont tell you this when you are paying.
    Halloween is coming, so beware of the "Gowls" that want your hard earned cash.
    Not to knock PAYPAL to much i'm pretty sure they give good service to people, I just had a bad experience with them and "DREAMINTHEBOX".

    well the router should give all your devices a seperate ip (and your router will also have its own ip) so its strange that you have network ok .you can get a dvi to hdmi cable should work fine.

    thanks again for coming to the rescue again piopat.just to clarify the dvi from dreambox to hdmi in tv is ok instead of scart to scart, and address of my dreambox and router should they be identical. the reason i ask this particular question is so on another dreambox that is up and running they are identical and everything is ok

    the ips should be different on all your devices ,2 ips the same will cause a clash. the thing to watch out when buying any cable is to first check the connector on the box example (is it male or female ,i assume you know what that means ) so if the connection on the box is female you will need a male dvi to hdmi cable.google dvi to hdmi and you will see lots of stuff about it.

    I have used the openmedia wifi but now none of the channels are coming, all lost. When I go to communication setup of dm600 the all dots are red next to the ip, gateway, dhcp etc. But when I test it all turn to green. Then if I save it all turn red. My internet is running fine. I have tried to put the network cable back to the box, scanned channels again but nothing is working, I am not able to connect to the box via my laptop for ftp. Please help!!!

    Evening folks

    Hope you are all well. I've been spending this evening setting up two dreambox 500s boxes on my home LAN. The server box is online, with correct cccam config file, etc. The problem occurs with the second one upstairs.

    It powers on fine, and I can see the Gemini page on the TV screen. BUT as soon as I connect the ethernet cable, my Motorola VM modem starts flashing (send/recieve) and is unable to reconnect to Internet until I disconnect the cable from the client dreambox.

    What is going on?

    likely the network cable you use is
    1/ crossover cable
    2/ faulty
    new cable required in either case

    could possibly be an ip adress conflict

    ip address conflicts occur if you manually assign ip addresses rather than allowing dhcp assign. mac address conflicts also possible. good point jvob

    Use any image that's suitable for dream-500. You can use same image on cable & sat sides
    or 2 diff. images. Follow same info for flashing Dream-500. Make sure images are clone-safe. Digital Kaos 1.1 or Pli-Jade-500 are both fine on O/Media boxes. They can be used
    on cable & sat sides. Make sure to power-off box when switching from cable to sat.
