problems connecting dm7020

[teddyboysampson]

at the moment i have a dm7000s and have it connected to my computer with dcc no problems , i recently got a 7020 (used ) for my brother in law for a good price as the guy never really used it .when i connects the 7020 i put all the settings in dcc , at first it connects then comes up with socket error

i can't really understand why this is happening and any advice would be great, the db has a gemini image in the flash that it came with and i fitted a 40 g hd in it, i was thinking about re flashing it although i did really want to keep the image that was on it and load another one on the hard drive , i cant really go to the guy i bought it from as his knowledge stopped at there is a power switch on the back lol.

thanx in advance

Hi Ted go to expert septup then communications setup and tick the DHCP box and save then reboot that should give you the true ip of the dreambox, if its saying socket error are you using the right network cable, it could just be a cable problem worth trying another network cable mate.

thanx m8

will give that a go although i don't think i had the DHCP box ticked , i could not really understand as all i done was to disconnect the 7000 and reconnect the 7020

the dcc is there a particular version that you have to use with the 7020 ?, well i will give it a go although i am out all day Sunday and if i can donge the wife and jobs then Sunday seams ok

Thanx

Teddy:thum:

ok changed the settings and it seamed to keep them although just befor toy get the 10057 error in function send it comes up with

tellnet connected,tellnet disconected, ftp disconected

also when you boot it up it does take a while in comparasment with the 7000

any idears

Have you tried rebooting your router, netmask should be 255 255 255 0 nameserver and gateway should be the same 192.168.0.1, if they dont appear to look like this after a reboot of the router enter them manually save then try dcc again.

Hope this helps you out Ted

 

[teddyboysampson]

tried that m8

and it is saving it although it conects then it comes up with

tellnet connected,

tellnet disconected,

ftp disconected

and think the image on it takes time to load , could that be the problem

Can you ping the 7020 from your PC?

Can you either telnet (from a cmd prompt) or FTP to the 7020 (i.e. not with DCC)?

 

[teddyboysampson]

hi mhuk

to be honest me and computers ain't the best

could you possibly explain what what to do and i will have a go and let you know whats what, all i have done is put the place of the dm7000, this 7020 i bought at a good price (£200) and the guy said he had only used it about 3 times and i can believe it, to be honest he was ill advised and because of his location never really worked

Teddy:thum:

 

[mhuk]

I don't use DCC so let's try from first principles.

Is your 7020 connected to a router? Is there also a PC connected to the router?

And you've copied the communication settings from the 7000 to the 7020?

And this is wrong:

gateway 127.0.0.1

The gateway is the IP address of your router e.g. 10.0.0.2 (if that is your router IP address).

Nameserver: I set this to the IP address of my ISP DNS server (if that doesn't make sense, leave it for now).

Hi teddyboysampson!

If You post Your router IP (You usually use in DCC) it could be helpfull...

 

[teddyboysampson]

thanx stillabrummie mhuk and HaCKaMaC

i basically copied the info off my dm7000s in my communications settings over to the dm7020, i disconnected one receiver and connected the other and then i had these problems.

well yesterday i was out for the day taking the daughter to a taekwondo comp to compete and there 1000's of people there and i bump into a guy i know from another forum that i have not seen for a couple of years , i was explaining my problem and was saying that the image i had loaded on it took quite a while to boot up and he agree it was very strange and as i don't know any of the history of what software had been loaded i think the best thing would be to re flash it and start from scratch, so that is my next step and i will let you know if it sorts it

thanx

ok re flashed the dm70020

i have used the latest nabliosat one for the dm7020 and put it on the flash.

i have gone into comunications set up and edited the following

ip ~ 192.168.0.1
dhcp not ticked
netmask 255.255.255.0
type
lan
nameserver
192.168.0.1
gateway
192.168.0.1

enable network ticked

port 80

my ip of my router is 192.168.0.4

in the protocol in dcc it comes up with ~

telnet connected

telnet diconected

ftp disconected

with this information can anybody advise and whats gone wrong although can you keep it simple

thanx in advance

Hi Ted i had this problem with nabilosat.V06 image on my 7000 the telenet box kept on going red after i changed my password, i just kept pressing the reconnect button and eventually it stayed green, maybe a bug in the image.

 

[teddyboysampson]

arrrrrrr sorted now

:thum:

was a router problem lol

all i did was put the db ip in my fire wall settings, disconnected the the firewall completely and connected straight away, then i reconnect the firewall and it all seams ok now , so now to setting it up

thanx for all the help i have had and hope to be able to repay it

Teddy:thum:

 

[teddyboysampson]

i dont belive it

the bloody thing wont connect now

and then my 7000 would not connect at first so all i can think of is there has to be some sort of conflict.

well now i have managed to load a image on the flash and seen it work so think the best thing if for my brother in law to set it up at hid house and i will talk him through it .

could it be down to the dcc version i haave got ??

You can't connect to the Dreambox?

You've checked the IP address of the Dreambox and the software you're trying to connect to it?

On your pc click

Start > run > cmd

this will bring up a command prompt. Now type

ping 192.168.0.n

where n is your IP address

remember gateway = router IP address

In your post above you've said the IP address of the Dreambox, namesever and gateway are all 192.168.0.1

"Normally" the router would be 192.168.0.1 and the other computers on the network would be 192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11 etc. (for example) and add this IP range to the trusted zone in the router and/ or firewall.

have ya got it fixed yet teddy ?

the simplest way to check if your box is connected to the router is to open any browser (ie, firefox, opera,...) & type the ip of your box in the address bar.

you should see the enigma web interface if you're connected right.

other option is trying to ftp your box using any ftp client
