Classic example for anyone that is struggling.... if you read up on the subject and gather your information BEFORE touching the box then you wont have any problems

Well done m8.

i am really having alot of trouble with this as i have read the dummies guide and got as far as the download manager but i must b worse than a dummie cos thats as far as i got lol.

 

[steve69]

ok i must admit i am sorry for my 1st post and i do appoliguse for it but i am getting really frustrated and i know thats no excuse for my little outburst.
i have read a hell of alot of tuts and i must admit i am not that much of a techie but i am trying my best and just got frustrated.
like i said b4 i do appoligise.
and ty for the link.
and ty for the welcome gav.

 

[gav12345]

ok m8 lets forget it

is your box sagem/nokia

is your box 1x/2x


cheers

 

[steve69]

ok sorry about the keeping on a bit but with the dbox for dummies i have read arround 6 or 7 times but i can only get as far as the download manager as i can download it but not open it,i think its something to do with my comp with the activex but as i know nothing about that either i am at a loss of how to open it.
it reads when i try to open it that the ocx file might not have been registered or that a file is missing,well i dont think theres a file missing at all as there has been a thread on another forum that was having the same sort of trouble as i am but unfortunatly there wasnt a cure for this but did go on to say that it was something to do with the active x.

 

[steve69]

cheers gav,
its a nokia x2 sat box.
i dont think also that i am getting a connection from the pc to the box either. i have put the ip addy in and got the ip addy of the box too but thats about as far as i got to.

 

[gav12345]

what do you mean download manager are u talking about ifa?

and what box do u have and how many chips m8

 

[gav12345]

dont make them the same number m8 that wont work

 

[steve69]

its a nokia box with 2 chips. i have a cd with sportser on it and all that if that is any help when i can finnally get it connected to the pc but i can only do that wit hthe cross over cable.

 

[steve69]

no the one pc addy is 01 at the end and the box is i think if i can remember 192.168.0.10

 

[gav12345]

what you will need to get going m8

A cat5 CROSS OVER network cable for connecting between the dbox and the pc.
A normal cat5 straight network cable if you already have a LAN (i.e. router or
hub.)
A NULL MODEM cable for connecting between the dbox & the pc. (3-wire null
modem cable will do. 2rx to 3tx, 3tx to 2rx & 5gnd to 5gnd.)

 

[gav12345]

mine is set with 100 at the end and on pc its 101 and runs perfect try that m8

 

[gav12345]

Set your network card to 10 / half duplex (this is the recommended setting & the
one I used, but some people have reported that you can use 10 Full duplex or even
auto, the choice is yours.)
Set your windows COM port to: Bits per second = 57600
Data bits = 8
Parity = none
Stop bits = 1
Flow control = none

 

[gav12345]

An ftp package, the recommended one is Flashfxp is the one i use m8

 

[gav12345]

steve cant reply as you have too many messages and it wont let me save

but the best thing is to start a post stating the you have a sky dbox and need channels or something like it as i cant help with the sky versions m8 sorry about that


cheers
