place your wirless router next to it m8

 

[digidude]

the router and other cables are already in place so thats not an option

Connect the dreambox to the router with an ethernet cable and you can communiate with the dreambox no problem m8.

yes i know that as thats how all my other boxes are connected, but this one is awkward and the easiest option would be to connect it to the wireless enabled PC thats right next to it

Could you stick one of these in the back of the Dreambox and connect the dreambox wirelessly to the rest of your network?

As Crazy says you need a wireless bridge.

Check ebay out for the powerline ethernet adapters as BT are giving them away with their BT Vision boxes and then people are selling them on ebay and they are 200mbps models

Shouldn'y have to pay much more than £50

If you have an ethernet card in your PC you can connect a cross over cable to your dreambox and configure XP to act as the Ethernet bridge. This is quite a good article which explains how to

Just picked up the powerline adaptors, a Bt Vision box and a home hub for £50 + p&p!

Does the Bt Vision box work (freeview and PVR anyway) without BT Internet?

Which got my devious mind going...

Another good reason to secure your wireless router & network - to be sure your c/sharing neighbour with box & wireless bridge doesn't help themselves to a bit of your bandwidth.

Hello mate ive got the dreambox 7000s and there is a wifi software plugin not sure which box youve got but it does seem an option. Ive never used it but i assume i just use a usb adaptor.

Vision box doesn't need a card or serial number just needs a Vision enabled BT BB line.

I think thats the problem - neither of us are on BT BB.

I think I'll put the box back on ebay, I'lll have the powerline adapters and I'll unlock the hub for my g/f's mum.

There is a better way for wireless connection in your house. All you need is your power socket (do not use power adaptor, you will loose the signal).
Check it out!
