Hi all my crossover cable finally arrived today and it doesnt seem to be working, ive looked at the FAQ's and stickys and they seem to talk about doing it with a null modem cable but i thought you go transfer files onto it using both?
Anyways i have the 500-s and ive gone into expert setup from the menu, ive typed in the following settings:
DHCP(box): Unticked
ip: 192.168.1.5
Netowrk mask 255.255.255.0
type: LAN
nameserver: 192.168.1.1 (same ip address as router)
gateway: 192.168.1.1 (same ip address as router)
Enable Network(box): Ticked
Port: 21 (ive also tried changing this to port 80 the default FTP port but nothing)
Next ive tried using dreamup, i type in the correct ip address and it says now turn on dreambox and so i do and the bar doesnt turn blue and it says it should do in the guide.
Next i try dreamboxedit, i type in ftp://192.168.1.5 and username is root and password is dreambox, it says connecting and then doesnt make a connection and brings back error.
that didnt work so i tried some ftp software, i tried ipswitch ws ftp, not sure if anybody is firmilular with it but i load the program up, in the address bar i type in the dreambox ip address: 192.168.1.5, i then type in the default username and password for the dream box and press the go button, again i get the following responce:
Connecting to 192.168.1.5:21
Connected to 192.168.1.5:21 in 0.000000 seconds, Waiting for Server Response
Error reading response from server.
Connection closed by remote host.
Host type (1): Automatic Detect
the dreambox is configured for port 21, ive also put it on port 80 and still nothing happens. When i connect the dreambox up to pc it detects the LAN connection but says limited or no connectivity, what am i doing wrong? or is it the fact im using a crossover ethernet cable to try and transfer instead of a null modem one? i persumed i can transfer with this but it dont seem to want to work, anybody help me get this set up because nothing is working here.
p.s the dreambox is connected directly into my laptop not via a router
thanks
