Does anyone have any information about the ethernet connection at the back of the new Thomson DSI8215 Sky+ HD Digibox?
I know it is probably there for some "future" use but i would like to know more about it...
My networking knowledge is very limited but i believe through this connection the HDD on skybox could be accessed...(not sure if the recorded stream files will be any good if encrypted tho)
I connected a "cross" cable between a PC and the digibox and got a connection on the taskbar...(with an exclamation mark..(IP issues)
When i went into properties i found the mac address of the box and IP address as well as the subnet mask...when i entered these into my PC i managed to get a connection without the exclamation mark...
So......Looks like i managed a healthy connection between the box and the PC..
but as i previously pointed out my networking knowledge is very little so at this point i dont know what to do next.........any ideas?
