The Dreambox used standard for flashing or channel changing an internet connection.
At home no problem, but on a camping in France it was difficult on my Laptop with W10.
I use a UTP cross cable from Laptop to Dreambox but no correct response.
There must be change a lot of network settings before DCC connect the Dreambox.
After that, you must put all port and other settings back to “normal”.
To go round all this trouble, I use a old router (Sweex W050V2) and two straight cables.
One from the laptop to port 1 and one from the Dreambox to port 2, the WAN port is not used.
The first time ask Windows to connect and say yes, than you can use DCC via Router.
Good luck, Ben
