Hi
You need to set your network card settings to one less than your dreambox ip at least thats the way it is with the dboxes. If you look around in the dreambox section I think theres a tut somewhere.

Thanks Mastichick For The Help. Unfortunately I Dont Have Privileges To Check Any Of This Stuff, So I Am Relying On The Good Nature Of Members Like Yourself.
Any Idea Where I Would Find My Network Card Settings.i Am Using Smartftp Here For The First Time, So I Have No Real Idea.
Much Appreciated. My Day Has Just Been Wasted With This.

Hi
Go to control panel and network settings TCP/IP properties and click on use following IP address. Input your box IP making sure its one less than your box ip. You may have to set your card to half duplex or auto but b4 you do that try connecting via your ftp program. Hope this helps.
THANKS AGAIN MASTICHICK
I CHANGED THE IP ADDRESS TO ONE LESS THAN THE BOX IP, BUT STILL THE SAME MESSAGE. I AM GIVING UP FOR TONIGHT AND WILL RECOMENSE BATTKLE TOMORROW.
THANKS AGAIN. VERY INFORMATIVE. I WILL EVENTUALLY GET THE HANG OF THIS.

Ip details
Try Cuteftp or simular product, do as the other posts say look for network setup, if you have t dreambox plugged into a cable router, make sure the dreambox has dchp enabled then it will automatic pick up an ip address from the router, and you can see it when you reboot the dreambox, if you dont have a router send me a message and i will tel you how to still connect. Ps make sure you get password right maybe root or dreambox or both ie username root password dreambox etc, Hope this helps Darren

hi m8,
when you go into your network card settings select properties, then the advanced tab, from here you need to select you link speed duplex to 100mbps/full duplex. dont forget to disable any other network cards, along with you firewall and antivirus
I am not sure if you need to change your own Pc's IP address.
Asumming you have the PC working on the internet before adding the dbox. then do not change your own PC's IP address. If you understand what is DHCP then any device on the same network will be given an IP address as soon as they connect on the cable; except the dbox. Follow the previous post to check your dbox's IP setting to reflect your local IP range (do not asumme it is always 192.168.x.x).
Your symptom at first seems like wrong IP address for the host to be contactable. If you want to be sure;
1) check your own PC's IP range - get a DOS prompt - type ipconfig write down the IP address and the gateway detail.
2) get to the dbox's communication setting- tick the DHCP setting (most of home ADSL router, is running DHCP) then clcik save. come out of the setting and click back in, you should see a new IP address, if you do this is the dbox's IP address.
3) instead of using any ftp program, I would recommend the DCC program from dreambox tools section. DCC is designed for dbox uses so lots of tools become extremely useful and reduce learning curve.

You don't NEED the IP on the dream to be 1 less than your PC it needs to be in the same subnet, usually 1 less will work fine. Plus as others have said you need to make sure your firewall and/or other software isn't blocking the ports (21 for FTP) that FTP uses, or port 80 for the web interface.
To find out your PCs IP address go to START->PROGRAMS->ACCESSORIES->Command Prompt
In the little DOS window that appears type "ipconfig"
you'll get back something like
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.22 <-------- important
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 <-------- important
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
If you have a router I'd suggest its best to connect via that than directly into your PC since the router gives out IP addresses automatically to machines connected that ask for one (in this case my PC got 192.168.0.22) and that way if the Dream asks for one it will all get done automatically for you. All you'll need to do is go into the dreambox menus:
Menu > Setup > Expert Setup > Communication Setup
you'll see something like
IP: 192.168.0.4 [X] DHCP <-------- important
NETMASK: 255.255.255.0 <-------- important
TYPE [LAN[V] <-------- important
NAMESERVER: 93.45.123.98
GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1
[X] Enable Network Port 80 <-------- important
and next to the number at the top make sure the DHCP box is ticked... (DHCP is the computer way of asking for an IP number... a bit like HTTP is the way of asking for a web page). The subnet mask must match for the connections to work but that work is done for you too if you use DHCP on a router not the direct cable approach.
A simple way to test the PC and the dream can see and talk to each other. On that PC DOS box type PING 192.168.0.nn (where nn is the IP number of your dreambox)
You SHOULD get something like
C:\>ping 192.168.0.4
Pinging 192.168.0.4 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.4:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
It trys 4 times to send 32 bytes to the machine at IP number 192.168.0.4 (my dreambox) If there is a reply it tells you how many miliseconds it took... then at the end it averages it all up for you.
Another (less techy) way to see if the two machines (your PC and the DREAM) can talk to each other try opening a web page and putting in
http://192.168.0.nn (where nn is the IP number of your dreambox)
this then connects the two machines; with the webserver running inside the Dream talking to the web browser on your PC. You can remote control the dreambox from the PC and watch TV on your PC from the dreambox etc etc. This proves the connection works. It also tends to work on machines with a firewall as normally those machines connect ok to websites (like your private one of the dreambox now is).
Once you have proved the connection works you can move on to making other connections using other tools, knowing if there is a problem its NOT with the basic connection.
Hope that helps.
