You cant connect the laptop directly to the dreambox using the same cable that connects it to the router, thats a patch lead, you need a crossover cable to make a direct connection.
As I understand it, if I am getting the web IF displayed and also the current channel on which the DM is tuned is displayed in the top portion of the screen, it means that I am connected to DM right? |
Yes, it sounds like you are connected OK.
Have you tried a different image?
Have you tried connecting with Firefox instead of IE?
Compufunk what is this thing you mentioned of connection timeout and how can I check if this is happening or net? |
You dont get a message saying that it timed out, but after loading part of the page it sits there for a while trying to load before stopping.
Sorry, cant help you much more as I have never seen the problem as persistently as you describe.
