Hi Guy's
I've got a dbox or dreambox and its running digitalworlds 2.1. an automatic scan brings up the correct EPG and the free channels. The other channels stay blank..I know keys can be editited manually but not too sure where to find latest keys, also could this be a ROM problem.. As i did a hardreset and maybe it deleted the latest ROM, from the box filebrowser i undrstand the roms to be from 2008? I've tried to connect it using my xbox 360 ethernet cable but my laptop doesn't even pick up that something is connected to its ethernet port... Thanks for any help im a newbie in this section |

FTPing to Dbox and how to Transfer and Backup Images, Service files and Bouquets Whats needed.... A Dbox in Debug Mode A RJ45 Crossover Cable (if you do not know what this is then its probably best to stop here) A PC (I had a few problems using my laptop but no issues using a desktop.) Either a recent version of Internet Explorer, version 5 or above, or FlashFXP or other FTP program Note: The DBox is NOT to be connected to the PC at this point so if you have connected them via Crossover cable then take it back out. First things first, Setting up the PC so that its ready to communicate with the Dbox 1. Open the Control Panel then go into Network Connections 2. You may have a few different connections so disable all of them with the exception of the connection that you are going to use to communicate with the dbox. 3. Right click on the connection to be used and select "Properties" 4. If using Windows XP turn off the firewall by clicking on the "Advanced" tab, click "Settings" under "windows firewall" then select "Off" then click "Ok" then click on the "general" tab 4b. If you are using another firewall then be sure to disable it or you won't be able to connect to the Dbox. If you don't know how then stop here. 5. Double click on "internet protocol" to take you into the IP settings 6. Click "Use the following IP addess" 7. Type in 192.168.0.101 into the "IP address box 8. Type in 255.255.255.0 into the "Subnet mask" box if it is not automatically put in 9. Type in 192.168.0.1 into the "Default gateway" box 10. Click "OK" then "OK" again to save the settings Thats the computer ready now its time to setup the DBox 1. If not already turned on, turn on the Dbox. If there is no image on the box or if "Kein System" is showing on the display then move onto the IFA tutorial. 2. Once booted up press the "Dbox" button on the remote which on mine is 2 below the power button 3. Select "Settings" from the menu that pops up on the screen (should be 4 from the bottom) 4. Select "Network" from the new menu (should be 6 from the top) 5. Select "IP Address" (should be 7 from top) and change it to 192.168.0.100 then press "OK" on the remote 6. Select "Default Gateway" (3 below IP Address) and change it to 192.168.0.1 then press "OK on the remote 7. The "Subnet Mask" (Below "IP Address") should be 255.255.255.0, if it is not change it accordingly 8. Select "Start/Restart Network Now" (5th from top) 9. Select "Show Active Network Settings" (4th from top) 10. Go "Back" then click "Save Settings" to save everything. Now that everything is set up its time to communicate with your dbox 1. Connect your Dbox to your PC via the crossover cable. 2. Open your "Network Connections" from the "Control Panel" of your PC 3. Right click on the connection you are using to communicate with your DBox and select Repair (this simply refreshes the connection) 4. Open up Internet Explorer or Flash FXP or whatever program you are using to connect to the DBox 5a. If using Internet explorer simply type FTP://192.168.0.100 into it. If asked, the username is "root" and the password is meant to be "Dbox2" but it can be absolutely anything. 5b. If using Flash FXP click on the lightning flash then quick connect then type 192.168.0.100 into the "Server or URL" box type in "root" as the username and "dbox2" as the password then click "Connect" |

Have you checked the local information is set correctly ie. symbol rate , frequency etc... Now you got yourself in this pickle why don't you install a new image like the new commando 11 and install the magic files? All are available from the download section.
