Have you forwarded the dm500 port (12000 for CCCam) on your new router and enabled DNS service?

 

[a1gunner]

How do i do that

 

[firefox1965]

if your m8 is a client theres no need to port forward

 

[a1gunner]

yes he is a client m8

also makesure dream and labtop etc dont have the same ip.is it connected through ethernet or wifi or homeplugs.sometimes new broadband takes a week to bed in.

What model is the router?

 

[a1gunner]

the model is aol bb-314c64 m8

 

[Yosser2000]

the model is aol bb-314c64 m8

cant seem to find that model - parents on talktalk and have a D-Link DSL - 2680 - works fine with cccam as a client - previously had a netgear which also worked fine - only other models talktalk currently sell are made by Huawei.

 

[a1gunner]

he had netgear m8 but it wudnt work so he said his router was broke and they send that 1 out it was the same with the netgear 1

I would be tempted to reflash the Dm500, i know it works on your virgin connection, but it won't do no harm. What image is on it?

 

[a1gunner]

its pli m8

 

[Yosser2000]

if it wasn't working on the other router either, seems to suggest its not the router. I know its silly but have you tried a different ethernet cable?

 

[a1gunner]

yes m8 tried that also

You could check settings on your router.Look for Mac Address Control and ensure its disabled if using DCHP.If you are assigning IP addresses to additional clients then you will need to set to enabled and put the mac addresses in the allowed table.

Hi m8 , i came across the same problem and spoiled the whole day ! the new router from aol is not good for this! I sort it out, buying 2 nd hand netgear router from e- bay for less than £15, and everthing so far good!
