My dreambox as had this problem for months now when I connect to my router it never shows up and I keep getting a 10.0.0.97 ip address no matter what I do. Sometimes if I turn my router off and on it will work and setup the right ip address but I can't backup the image using flashwizard but it will restore from a image I already have,even Dcc or CuteFTP struggle picking it up.My second dream 500 as no problems at all and get's picked up right away
 
What make is this dreambox you are having the problems with?

Have you tried assigning it a static IP address?
 
Both of them are original db 500s and ye tried that I first noticed the problem months ago when it tuck over 2 hours trying to back it up


It working the moment but if I was to turn it off and on the same thing happens again

is there a reservation on your router to give the receiver the ip address? (via mac address)
 
Sorry mate not sure what you mean all I know is my other db as no problems at all same with my new Blade 7000hd that works perfect with no problems. I want to make sure its ok so I can put it on ebay
 
try just flashing a clean image on it mate rather than restoring from a backup, as it may be corrupted, just a thought!
 
Tried it Ive even tuck round to my mates a few times to flash it using a null cable.
 
well if your other 2 boxes work fine and network fine with your router then it would only point the finger at the problem box, its obviously faulty mate, thats all it can be really!
 
A couple of weeks ago I tuck to another friends and it backup and flashed with no problems I might take it back now and see how I get on
 
linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54GS cable router
 
its nothing to do with the router when your other box exactly the same works fine!
 
Just rang my mate so am taking it to his now
 
let us know what happens then mate!
 
Just set it up and his sky router picked it up straight away but still having problems with Flashwizard trying to create a backup. About to try and flash a new image on it instead and see how that go's but deffo thing its the box that is faulty
 
dont use the same image you currently use to flash the box.
use the jade 3 pli image from the download section.
 
Tuck about 10 minutes to flash my backed up image on but Had to use Dream up with a null cable to flash the jade 3 pli image on it as when I used Flashwizard it was stuck at 86%. My friends router picked it up ok but the same problems where there so thinks it's deffo a faulty box. Ill have to stick it on ebay as faulty now just not sure how to describe this fault. Thanks for all the help
