[QUOTE="td03-5, post: 95719, member: 188069"] Hi Tore, All that Stick says is correct and should be checked. Just to help a bit further here is how I have my Dreambox communication panel set. Your IP addresses may be different but will follow much the same pattern. Make sure the Cmmunications panel in the Dreambox is set in a similar way to the following example:- IP 192.168.0.24 (Dreambox IP) DHCP (Un-checked) Netmask 255.255.255.0 Type LAN Nameserver 192.168.0.1 (IP of Router or PC) Gateway 192.168.0.1 (IP of Router or PC again) Enable Network x (Checked) Port 80 These are my settings but will be similar to yours even though you use Internet connection sharing on you PC. The netmask will vary depending on what IP you use for the Dreambox (the one shown is fairly standard and used to be hard coded into many images). So, to summarise; Check Internet Connection Sharing on the PC (run wizard again). Check Communications panel in Dreambox (Menu, Settings, Expert Settings, Communications). Check Firewall is not blocking Dreambox access. Let's know how you get on? 73 & good luck. [/QUOTE]
