hi guys i have been pulling what little hair i have out for ages now:confused:)(-red as an ex army sergeant
mabe i should have stuck with guns lol:eek: i cant seem to telnet and ive been thro the whole of google trying to find the answer:-rofl2 - so my question is can this be sorted by remote sharing desktop? many thanks dave
 
If you cant telnet your network communication isnt working properly for some reason.

Remote desktop wont help in this situation.
 
hi guys i live in northampton and am having great trouble sorting my tm9100s out i have all the fta channels - but i can get telnet working tried turning off firewall etc etc so if any one lives near by i will gladly pay them to sort it - cheers dave
 
Ive merged the two threads you have strted on this topic - please dont start new threads as then folk miss out on the earlier info.

As Ive already said you need to sort out the networking on your system. Start by finding out what IP address the TM has allocated itself - should be in the menus somewhere. Then try to telnet to that ip address.
 
thank you very much - asks for STB login and password? any ideas - many thanks dave
 
No idea - never used one, but the info should be on the forum somewhere. Or someone will know it.

Networking is a bit of a black art, but you would be better off allocating static ip's for set top boxes , then the ip address doesnt change if the box or router reboots..

I have my network set up something like this:

192.168.0.1 - router
192.168.0.2 - dell desktop
192.168.0.3 - swmbo's laptop
192.168.0.5 - network printer
192.168.0.10 - dreambox



etc etc
 
Not really - i know getting your head around network can be a headache. Ive gone from zero knowledge to running the local high school computer system (300 computers) in 10 years so I do appreciate the problems folks new to the networking game can have - Ive been there big time!

I would recommend you do some reading up on static ip's and set your network up with them at some point. (Then create a small text file with the network ip configs on it and save it somewhere safe - you WILL forget sooner or later :D)
 
Heres a basic description of how static ips work You set reserved addresses up on your network dhcp (doesnt matter what it means - its just the thing that allocates network addresses.

Theres should only be one dhcp on the network - if you have broadband its either your router or your main computer. I use my router.

You then allocate a separate address within the router to EACH bit of networked kit - computer / dreambox / laptop / slingbox etc - just like in that list I gave you in post #6

You then go to the network properties on each bit of connected kit and allocate the same number to it - so I set up my DB7020 as 192.168.0.10


You can use dynamic addresses if you prefer, but this has the disadvantage that the allocated addresses can change over time.so if you have got used to telnetting onto 192.168.0.10 you might get a nasty shock one day when you cant access it. As long as you remember about the possibility of the addresses changing its fine - you can just go and have a look to see what the address is now.

I just like things simple and dont like things changing on their own! I have too much of that at work - I dont want to be pulling my own network apart on a Saturday just to solve a communication issue caused by a box deciding it wants to be 192.168.0.38 instead :D
 
many thanks analoguesat i know this was for a dreambox but i tried it and it worked on my tm 9100s - altho im getting very very frustrated it still wont let me telnet grrrrrrrrr lol

Details

On your remote control press Menu > 6 > Expert Setup > Communication Setup

You will see a screen similar to the first attachment. Enter values for

IP = your Dreambox IP address
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Type = LAN
Nameserver = you ISP's DNS server IP address
Gateway = your router IP address
Enable = checked


The IP address for the nameserver is the IP address of your ISP's DNS server (nameserver). To find this, on your PC click

START > run > cmd

Then type ipconfig /all to get a listing of the configuration of all your network interfaces. Note the two DNS Servers as marked in the second attachment below. Enter your value as the nameserver.

Save and reboot your Dreambox.


Does it Work?

Open a new command prompt window on your PC:

START > run > cmd

and enter

ping 192.168.0.24

You will get a reply if all is well, similar to that shown in the third attachment.
