Hello Piopat/all
Having problem with my friends dm 500s,it wont clear pay channels even though his line from his server is active,he is using edimax router 6200n (vodafone dongle)was working fine for months then he was doing some diy in his house so he put db/router away for about 2 months then reconnected but sly sports etc. not clearing.
I took the box/router to my house set it up again tru dcc all connecting fine i know the box is seeing the router because i can access nabilo cams,i have dhcp unticked cause i beleive ip address kept changing.i have tried my own dm 500s on this router and the same problem paid chans not clearing,the funny thing is it worked for a while until i powered everything off then powered back on but nothing,any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks/Jack....

jack the answer is obvious, read what you say, your beloved payserver is dead. on another count dhcp should always be enabled as a client box

jack you say you also tried your box on your friends router and your pay channels wont open ,do your pay channels still open when your box is reconnected to your own router ? .
have you tried connecting your friends box to your router to see if his pay channels open ok on your router ? ,if your friends box works ok on your router then it would seem his router has some sort of problem .
you should have dhcp enabled in your box and your mates box as they are only clients (that means only using a c line ) ,so if its not go to communication setting on both boxes and enable dhcp save and exit . now try connecting both boxes to your friends router ,check the pay channels again and see if they open .
if they dont open go again to communication setup and see if all the fields have been filled in ,i mean ip should have an ip address and gateway /subnet mask etc all should have been filled in automaticly by the router .
i know pay channels didnt open on your friends box but was your friend able to access the internet with his router ? can you try connecting your laptop to your friends router via an ethernet cable and see if you can connect to the internet(obviously switch off your own router while doing this ),if you cant connect to the internet i suppose another thing to check would be the ethernet cable ,so if you have a spare ethernet cable try it .these cables can get damaged /kinked etc so its worth trying another . get back to us when you can ,talk soon jack mate .

Good evening gents.
Firstly Fint payserver is alive and well and serving to some of my friends.
Piopat i am convinced now that this router is faulty,(spent enough time trying to sort it)what was throwing me off was the fact it works sometimes,his box clears at my house but his router wont clear my chans.
Many thanks guys for youre help.
Any suggestions on a new router that will work for him (vodafone dongle)i have a tenda router but cant seem to get usb modem to see the router.
Cheers/Jack

piopat,
do you have to have two Db's in order to share in your own home? using the sly card in one db? does this make the sly box defunct? or can i use the sly as a third user?

hi mate you would need a server and a client so thats two boxes ,you cant use the sky box for either of these purposes but i wouldnt say its defunct as it will work well as a free to air reciever and also you may need to pop your card back in to it at some stage or to authorise a new card .

11 hops down on Cccam from the source - I can tell you that 5-6 boxes will work with no issue at all.

hi mate as far as im aware sunray is a dm800 clone so you can use a dm800 image but you need to know the sim and bootloader versions of your box .its also possible that you bought a box that comes with a suitable image ,well with any luck .

hi mate to record your box needs to have a hard disk drive ,most of these boxes dont come with a hard disk drive as standard so if your buying a dm800 and want to record you will have to pay extra for a hdd so the prce would be nearer £200 . and a dm800 only has one tuner so you can only record the channel your watchng .

hi maza you will need a dyndns or no-ip hostname linked to your box unless you have a static ip address ,usually phone companies only give (well sell) these to people with their own business . so if youve not got a static ip address then yes you have to open a port on your router /open a dyndns.com or no-ip account (dyndns.com is no longer free)/you have to create a dyndns.com or no-ip hostname /download the dyndns.com or no-ip updater .
the card will update while in the dreambox but its no harm to pop the card back in the sky box overnight maybe once or twice a month .

hi mate well you can share with him but as i say you need to open a port on your router ,you can find instructions for this at http://portforward.com/ .
and you have to open a no-ip account and create a host name ,and also you must download the no-ip updater ,you can do both here http://www.no-ip.com/
