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 !
