Hi I have just purchased a belkin wireless gaming adapter so I can connect my dreambox wirelessly to the router (and hence internet). I have included a screenshot of my current communication setup and wondered what alterations I have to make. I know the ip address of my router i.e. i put the address in the bar and it brings up the router page on screen it begins with 86. BTW I am currently connected to my laptop via crossover. Any help greatly appreciated.

Its going to be tough for anyone who is not familiar with that particular wifi adaptor to tell you how to set it up.

I would suggest you try to get it working with your laptop first, once you get it going with the laptop it should be easy to set it up on the DB.

I'm guessing that your main DSL router (thats connected to your phoneline) would have an IP address of either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254. I've never seen one set up as you have here 192.168.1.100.

Router IP address is the gateway. A nameserver is a DNS server- you can put the router IP address but I prefer to use my ISPs DNS server IP addresses.

How you configure the wifi adapter will be up to you but if it's similar to a normal wifi router setup as an access point, the gateway IP address in the wifi adapter will be your main router IP address.

Yes, Usually.

Have you confirmed that the wireless adaptor is working as it should? This is why i suggested you connect it to your laptop.

Is your network using DHCP? If so enable DHCP on the dreambox so that it gets the correct settings automatically, You may need to restart.

Once the DB has the settings you can write them down then, dissable DHCP if you like and change the IP on the DB to whatever you like, Just dont touch the the Gateway,Subnet, nameserver addresses.

Are you using fixed IP addresses or did you limit the IP addresses issued by the DHCP server in the wireless router?

Provided you know the IP address of the dreambox, open a web browser on your laptop and type in the IP address of the dreambox
e.g.

http://192.168.0.24

You can use a web browser to FTP files to your Dreambox or use a simple FTP program like FileZilla on your laptop.
