I tried to connect my DM500S to the internet. Following the instructions on the User Manual, I went to "expert setup/communication setup" menu selection. In trying to set up the network configuration, under the "Type" field I only have LAN as an option although the manual clearly stated that I should also see a WAN option. For my type of ADSL connection, I need to set up a PPPoE connection.

I reviewd all relevent threads in the forum but was not able to find the answer. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I guess best will be to use a router... A router connects via PPPoE to your provider and shares that connection to your LAN... Beside that a router gives you NAT and other firewall-features...

P.S.: A view links:

Thank you for the reply. I thought of the same thing as an alternative solution.

Just curious, do you know if the WAN/PPPoE support was dropped from the DM500 or it never existed? Their documentation clearly shows that it should support it.

I also never found such a point in my 600 and already speculated if it will ever be added...
However I think most users of the dreams need more than one client with access to the internet and therefore use a router, so noone ever needed to connect with the dream and so noone ever complained about that...

1 check the ADSL modem setting, it should be provided by the local ISP.
2 check the setting of ADSL modem about the LAN ( at least including the dm500s and ADSL modem)
3 you need check the configuration of IP of dm500s , it should accord with the LAN setting. [Blockierte Grafik: http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/board/file:///C:/Users/Stary/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.gif]
