Default internet settings

Hi, I'm having problems with my dreambox 500s. I can watch the free to air channels but none of the encrypted ones. I am not certain but I think it could be due to some ip problems with my internet connection. I have just had a wimax router installed (pppOe) which I have plugged into my netgear WNR834B wireless router. Internet is working fine but I cannot get any of the other devices to work (ie, xbox, tesco internet phone and dreambox.).
The communication settings of my dreambox are as follows:

Ip 10.0.0.97
Netmask 255.0.0.0
Type LAN
Nameserver 10.0.0.1
Gateway 127.0.0.1
Port 80
Enable network
Dhcp both ticked
and this is a copy of my ipconfig /all.

A DB wont magically open all the channels on its own - you have to have access to a subscription, either via a card in the slot or a card share.

Thanks, I do have a subscription. I think there is a problem with the ip settings and the internet connection. Can anyone find something strange by looking at the settins I've pasted?
thank you

Yes - the subnet masks are different for starters

ok thanks, I've tried writing the same ones in dreambox communication setup and still not working. Being trying all sort of combinations with no luck.
Could someone else please shed some light on this?

Networking is a black art, but make sure you only have 1 dhcp set. Normally either the main pc or the router.

Ive also allocated all my network kit static ip addresses, so I know exactly what number should be where at all times

thanks, I've also tried to disable the dhcp from the dreambox and changing ip addresses and dns but still not working. I'm wondering if it could be a problem on the other end, ie. the guy who has the server and from who I get the subscription??

Quite possible

However if your networking isnt set up right it will never work even if he's set up right.
