netmask should be 255.255.255.0
nameserver and gateway should be the same 192.168.1.254

try reboot your router and see if they change to this

it looks the the ip is out of the range of the router, see if you get a green line from the router-dreambox-pc with DCC,

if not untick the DHCP button manually enter the ip with an higher number like 192.168.1.259 save then try to reconnect with DCC.

ok after reboot these are the settings that are in there
ip = 192.168.1.67
netmask = 255.0.0.0
type = lan
name server = 192.168.1.254
gateway = 127.0.0.1

this states to me your router is not in order, was port 80 selected on the same screen

i would log into my router and check the settings, see what the ip range is set at, you can change these yourself so they on are the lower or higher numbers, then give the receiver an ip in the range you have chosen.

Your gateway is on loopback? That gateway IP should be set to the same IP as your router. And your netmask should be 255.255..255.0

Hi mate

Do you know how to get into you routers setup pages.

If so its IP and netmask will be there for you to see. I find it strange the DM picks up a loopback IP address from your router though

No mate

Default settings work with a universal LNB, if you have entered your coordinate and ticked gotox thats it.

If it is crashing when you scan use the manual scanning option not automatic and before you do reboot and check that your dish is pointing were is should be.
