I would leave the PC IP as it is and use 1 higher for the DM IP.

But this will be a pain mate lol

Hi mate

What the routers IP range? 192.168.*.***?

What ever that is.

Got to Menu-setup-expert setup communications.

First of all tick DHCP ( We will set a static when the Dream get some Info off router)

After DHCP is applied reboot router and DM

then go back to Menu-setup-expert setup communications

Use the IP you see there in Filezilla and with user = root pass=dreambox if you have not changed it also select port 23.

Try that.

i have seen this before, if you have green from router to dreambox, just click on ftp and see if you can see your dreambox folders in the left hand panel.

i dont think its an image problem, its a network prob check username and password are correct root dreambox default.

If you did briefly get a green line to the DM with a login failed message then Brummie is correct it is your login details that is incorrect.

Just power down the router nad the Dreambox then power backup open DCC and make sure your have root & dreambox for user and pass.

Try reconnect.
