Hi Guys,
Total Newbie here - I hope someone might take the time out to help me.
I've just had a Dreambox DM 500s installed. It doesn't have a cared but has a 6 month subscription loaded (I am in Bahrain). During installation my satellite dish LNB was tweaked to receive 3 satellites (Nilesat, Arabsat and Hotbird).
The problem I am having is that my internet is via broadband dongle plugge d into an XP system. I have enabled the network bridge and ICS. Currently I am using a CAT5 ethernet cable, will pick up a crossover tomorrow.
Thing is I am a bit stumped and not sure what to do, the system receives free channels and starts up with the Gemini screen.
I don't know if I need to flash, update etc. Mainly I just want to be able to hook the dreambox up to my internet via my PC without having to pay for a router/wired internet.
Any advice or help or anything would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
