Dreambox not connecting to the internet.

    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 !

    the name-server and gateway in the STB must have identical adresses.
    (aka 192.168.0.1 for both)

    No, you´re wrong. The name-server can be any name-server in the internet. Not all router have a name-server function. The router from a friend of mine has no one. They set the ip of the name-server for the dhcp-clients to the same ip as the router gets from the isp. Only the gateway have to be the adress of router.

    ... and then is required NS and GW use the same adresses !
    (the PC use a DialUp-DSL-Modem and ICS is in use)

    No, you can use the same NS like your pc gets from your isp over the dsl-modem.


    Example:


    Your pc gets from the isp:
    IP: 84.62.150.243 Subnet: 255.255.255.255
    NS1: 195.50.140.114
    NS2: 195.50.140.252


    The IP of the networkcard from your pc is: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0


    Then you can set to your Dreambox:


    IP: 192.168.0.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    NS: 195.50.140.114 or 195.50.140.252

    ... this is right ?
    hmm, when this setting ready for inet-conn., then is the
    NS parameter in the delerious-box false.
    (delerious has reading with ipconfig /all)
    ... OK, now must delerious compare the settings with your settings !
