Hi,
I have a dreambox 500 that is connected using a cross cable to my windows xp SP2 pc.
If I connect a latptop to the cable, the laptop can access the internet.
I can ping the dreambox as well as connect to the http interface by typing the IP in IE.
Unfortunately, the dreambox does nto recognize the internet. I test this by trying to do the software update but it says unable to resolve host.
my communication is setup as follows
IP: 192.168.0.160 DHCP Disabled
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 (same as on my PC's LAN connection)
Type: LAN
Name Server: the one I get from ipconfig/all
Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (My PC sets this when I enable Internet Connection Sharing)
Enable netowork ON, Port 80
What could be going wrong.
Also, what further information do I need to provide ?
I have uninstalled my firewall, I have disabeld windows firewall in the connection & reconnected with it disabled.
I use an ADSL dialup modem.
The network is fine because I can browse the dreambox through IE.
The internet is fine because if I connect the laptop inplace of the dreambox, that works.
Please help !
