[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 55461, member: 176912"] If you are connecting your Dreambox directly to your PC then you will need a CAT5 crossover cable (instead of a straight-through patch cable). If you're not sure which you have, you may be able to see where the coloured wires connect to the pins on the RJ45's. If they are the same both ends, then you have a standard patch cable. You could also test with a meter. If I understand your setup correctly, in that your PC has both a wireless connection to your network via a WAP, and a 10/100 Ethernet connection to which you are trying to connect your Dreambox, then you will also have to assign another (different) IP address to the Ethernet network adaptor in your PC (so your PC is seen as TWO IP nodes). Go to network settings for your Ethernet adaptor, properties, advanced tab, then select IP protocol, properties, then set the IP... (or something like that based on your OS, assuming Windows).
