Ah, so that software takes its input from the serial of the dm500s?
I thought the serial was something to do with the Sky card/box?
Ok so i need to input the serial from my dm500s, then create a boxkey file and ftp it to my dm500s. Then i just slot in the sky card and it should work fine?
Is there any convient way of organising all the channels? At the min i have 100s of crappy channels with no name attached to them. Is there a file i can dl and ftp to the dm500s to sort them all?

Well, i have created a cccam.cfg and uploaded it to /var/etc using the dream control centre, creating a boxkey using the 17 digit code on the under neath of my pace skybox.
Now, i think* i have cccam 2.01 set up to work correctly as the default cam, but PLI Jade is different to other images i've used and it seems to have 3 options for for cccam to use??
I've tried a restart etc but i cant get to view any of the Sky movies channels etc...
Any help
Thanks

very close. as far as i remember i can never once remember a 17 digit code on a sky box, usually the number (by nature called the card number) is just a nine digit number. am i wrong?

Oh, so maybe cccam etc is working fine, but my box key has been creared from the wrong number?
Where do i get the card number from? Is it on the card?

dyndns look for an ip address on signup.
This i assume is my routers ip address that hits the outside world.
How do i find it?
ipconfig /all just gives my laptops ip that dhcp from the router has assigned it...
As a by the way, i was thinking about using a payserver for a short period until i get my own card sorted. What is the feeling on this?

Hi piopat, that is correct I dont think there is a problem with the cables router as I can access internet from the same line as both boxes and also can access both boxes using dcc. Also client working fine on local network. I'm going to start from scratch again with both boxes and see what happens
Just an update to my original post re flashed both boxes but had same problems. As cs was working on internal network I rechecked all portforwarding and dyndns settings all were good but still problem. I replaced my internet router and bingo everything working. Will put problems down to either a faulty router or incorect forwarding settings.
Thanks for all the help

irishman glad to see your sorted anyway mate ,its in my experience more often a router problem (be it the port is not opened or otherwise)or their is a homeplugs/ethernet issue rather then the box . router and cables always first and reflashing last. but as i said glad your sorted mate enjoy.

Hello guys been running internal card sharing(own sly card) for many weeks now absolutely fine,tried external share with a friend on saturday and it worked a treat(thanks to piopats excellent tut)then my internal sharing went tits up(2dm500 upstairs) freezing glitching etc.i am using dm 800hd downstairs as server and 2 dm 500 upstairs internal share i use open media dongles as my pc is next door (granny flat)just wondering is it my router(netopia eircom)just isnt good enough or the open media dongles are overstretched.
thanks in advance.
Cheers/jack.............

are you sharing with someone local who is also on eircom ?,the reason i ask is i had a simillar problem in which i could share internaly fine and i gave a mate a share and his box glitched and froze badly. i noticed that when my brothers laptop was on at home my mates box glitched and froze and i came to the conclussion my mates box was on my network even tho he was in his own home about half a mile away .this may seem impossible but its true so i checked the ips i had set my devices and i checked my mates ip and sure enough his router had given his box the same ip as my brothers laptop ,all ips in my network are consecutive so i gave my mates box the next free ip in my network and problem sorted. of course i had to disable dhcp on my mates box and make his ip static for obvious reasons. of course this may not be your problem jack but its something you could check out.

jack, let us know the fline you put in for your external share. obviously dont supply actual username and password. i am more interested in the stuff hat is in parenthesis after the username and password. also can you confirm that the cline you put in the client external share looks exactly like this 'c: iphostname 12000 user pass no'. The no at the end of the line is very important.
piopat, that is the weirdest thing i have ever heard. as you say it should and must be impossible. i would ask you to also check the cline you gave the external client and ensure that no is at the end of this line.

hi fintann well other than the first hour when i set up his box in february(and it was freezing like hell)it has worked 100% perfect .my ips are consecutive so i set him the next free ip in my network and disabled dhcp on his box and it sorted the problem .i didnt put a no at the end of the c line i gave my mate ,to be honest i had forgetten to do it untill you just mentioned it.

pio, reason i say this is that your card can be flooded with emms which can really screw up viewing if you do not put no in the cline. can you retry your setup with this config and let me know. i simply cant get my head around what you say. it just simply should not work that way

hi all am i right in saying no goes in end of cline and fline.
thanks/jack..................
Hello fintannl/piopat.
The fline looked like this F user1 pass1
The cline looked like this C: micky7.dyndns.ws 12000 user1 pass1
the client box seemed to work well but my internal share went bananas and i also excluded no at the endwill retry tommorrow .
many thanks for all the help
cheers/ack.......

the no goes at the end of the cline. the fline should look like
F: user pass 2 0 0 { 0:0:1 }
this example allows no reshare of channels by the client box
F: david golf 2 0 0 { 0:0:2 }
this example allows the client to share the channels it receives down to a further box. you should always define reshare levels. otherwise you have no idea how many people are resharing your channels. if you only put user and pass in the fline then the this means that all clients can reshare and further reshare and further reshare. hence your system would go nuts from trying to process too many ecms from clients you dont even know you have
