[QUOTE="stivo, post: 604644, member: 183752"] Haven't tried it myself but I'm pretty sure this cheap, cheerful and somewhat laborious method would work for genuine Dreamboxes: Open a Command Prompt on your PC and enter [B]ipconfig[/B] This will show you your PC's own IP address and the default gateway address. Let's assume they are 192.168.10.2 and 192.168.10.1. What we have to do is a manual scan for other IP addresses on the LAN (using [B]ping[/B]) until we find the Dreambox (using [B]arp[/B]). I'll also assume a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Take the first three bytes of the addresses we've already found, in this case 192.168.10, and append the first number greater than 0 that will give us an IP address your LAN which hasn't already been identified, i.e. not your PC or the default gateway. In our example, that would be 3, giving us the first possible IP address to check: 192.168.10.3. Enter [B]ping 192.168.10.3[/B] If there isn't an immediate reply, press Ctrl-C to interrupt the ping and move onto the next unused address, in this case 192.168.10.4. Up-arrow will bring back the previous command for editing. When you get a reply from an IP address, enter [B]arp -a[/B] This will bring up a table of known IP addresses and the corresponding physical (MAC) addresses. If the physical address starts 00-09-34, you have the IP address of your Dreambox. If not, you have found another device on your LAN and should continue with a ping of the next IP address in the sequence. 254 is the top of the range and you can't continue past this, although with any luck the Dreambox should be located long before you get into three figures.
