Are you using a crossover cable? You should be if you are connecting device to device, rather than via a router.

Why does the IP address of the PC on the screenshot say 127.0.0.1.

Shouldn't it be 192.168.0.1 ??

I don't Know !!
I have a DVB SKYSTAR 2.6 too and when I Enabled It's Connection, IP Address of the PC on ScreenShot Change to It's (DVB CARD) IP, and never take my Ethernet Adapter IP.

i Don't know how I can FIX It?

thank U

If you are not using a Router, then you need a crossover cable, or a crossover adapter.

Yes, otherwise the transmit lines from the PC will be connected to the transmit lines on the Dreambox.

The wiring of a crossover cable:-

Immaterial really though as you should be able to pick up an adapter or crossover patch cable for a couple of quid.:)

127.0.0.1 is localhost and is the other IP address for your computer (most Windows PCs has a localhost IP address of 127.0.0.1).

A crossover cable is made from CAT5 cable but as shown, the wiring is different; easier to buy one and yes, you need one unless you have a router?
