it would be nice if you said how you fixed the problem, so others can learn for this.
This is how I got around the problem,but there may be different ways of achieving the same.
In Winxp go into the control panel and then network connections or go via network setup wizard(if you have win xp service pack 2 installed)
Click on Setup home or small office network
clicking next until you see Select a connection method
Look at the options tick the appropriate box ie This computer connects to the internet through a residental gateway or through another computer on my network.
Click next and name it.
Next (i turned off file and printer sharing but should be ok if you allow if you wish) then click next and you will see a computer screen and a house a few seconds you are almost done screen appears, click just finish the wizard and click finish.
Ok right click on that new connection you have made under general make sure tcp/ip is ticked highlight it then properties select use the following Ip address
we will say use 192.168.1.23 and subnet 255.255.255.0.
TURN OFF ANY FIREWALLS INCLUDING WINXP FIREWALL.
Now right click on the connection you use for your internet
and then properties, then goto advanced and tick allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection click ok then ok again.
Then Making sure your net connection is active
Click the start button then Run
Type in the run box cmd in winxp/2000 or command in win98
This will bring a box up
Type Ipconfig/all this will then bring up all the info you need.
Note the DNS SERVERS write these down.
Now goto the Dreambox make sure it is on then press the dream button on the remote control, this will bring up a menu you need to locate the setup section(location may vary from image to image but on Hydra it is usually 6)
Expert Setup then communication set up.
A box will open communication setup
Ip address
Netmask
Type
Nameserver
Gateway
A typical setup would be note the ip address is almost the same as the one on the network connection you made earlier.
Ip address 192.168.1.05
netmask 255.255.255.0
Type is LAN
Nameserver is one the DNS entry you wrote down(from ipconfig/all) if the first one doesnt work try the second.
Gateway is the ip address from the tcp/ip settings in network.
Okay if i have written this correctly and you have followed it, you should now be able to connect to the net via your dreambox to update the softcams and keys etc.
In hydra you usually need to download the latest control panel - switch off dreambox and then download latest keys etc from there by pressing usually the green button etc.
(On most images the softcams menu is accessed by pressing the blue button on the remote)
So update your softcams and your keys this depends on your image but most up to date images dont really need updating unless there as been a softcam change ie seca or conax as changed.
You should now be recieving and viewing hacked channels.
--
If you are not fully networked and cant update this way you need to do it via a ftp program i use FlashFxp
Input your Dreambox Ip address and port 21 (see networking above)
Username root
Password dreambox (unless you are using a firmware where the password has been changed ie sandbox)
click Connect
and you should see
several folders including
bin
dev
etc
hdd
lib
proc
sbin
share
tmp
var
mnt
If you see all or some of these you are connected to the inside of your dreambox
You must then download the latest latest keys and softcams etc from elsewhere on the net and install them via the ftp into the dreambox following the instructions that came with the files..
the rsakeylist goes to var/scce
And follow the instructions that usually acompany the files you download.
Now if you want to use your firewall you must configure it to allow the dreambox etc (this varies from firewall to firewall).
Some useful things...
Not networked?
Test firewall.
The server may be down that has the latest files etc
Try this open a new internet browser window then type the ip address of the dreambox in the address window ie 192.168.1.05
and if connected you will see a screen with various things on it you can scan the electronic program guide etc
Once fully networked why not try streaming media where you can be watching the dreambox image on your pc etc, or listen to webradio on your dreambox etc.
Hope this helps
