[QUOTE="BonceChops, post: 96974, member: 179529"] I would not bother with the usb at all. I would get a cheap 100mbit hub/switch. connect dreambox, router and pc to the hub/switch and away you go. You will probably find copying from dreambox to PC faster that way. Why keep moving the dreambox about. Put it under the TV where it is used and leave it there. I always find using ethernet only to be more reliable than usb anyway. Why do you suggest turning off dhcp on the dreambox. If the router supports fixed ip's you can fix an ip for the dreambox so it is always at the same address. Make sure you have an ADSL filter on each phone in the house. Do not cascade them if you have those crappy phone extensions with a plug on one end and a socket at the other. I have seen this and it stopped the ADSL from working. The best solution is an ADSL master socket front - available from cpc.co.uk. You place the router near the master socket and you dont need those horrible filters dangling about for the dog to eat or kids to pull. The least connections the more reliable your system. This is the way BT used to install ADSL before the 'wires only' type connections appeared. Neil [/QUOTE]
