Lesson number 192.168.0.5 or How to Network???
Just a few pointers to those having problems: After your image has been installed you might want to put on new settings etc. For this you would need to go to the expert setup, choose communication. There you have various options. The screenshot shows a working network configuration. My computer is connected directly to the Dreambox (no router in between).
I have set my computer to be 192.168.0.1, and the box I always use 192.168.0.5 Why? don't know, just seemed to be a good Idea. So every time I put in a new image these settings have to be re-entered.
Idiot Guide Trick: To make things easier when setting it up, provided your computer is on and the LAN connected: Go to the communication menu, and instead of entering all the IP stuff just tick the DHCP box and the "Enable Network", save the changes by pressing the green button, exit all the menus. Then go back to the communication menu, and all you need to do is untick the DHCP box, and change the last number of the IP. Save it and finished!
On the computer side: Sardo Sardo made a valid point in a recent message: "...in modem connection right mouse clik-property-advanced in internet connection sharing press ok in allow other network user to connect trough this computer's internet connection.I had the same problem but now it's ok." Can't argue with that!!
To back everything up I have added some screenshots of the network stuff modem configurations. Unfortunately my computer speaks only German, but I hope you might still get some benefit out of it.
