Help getting ip of my Dreambox

[nelgo123]

Does my dreambox have a specific ip other than that of my local network?

I can se an ip which is xxx.xxx.x.103. but this is the same for all dreamboxes on different home networks.

so my question is Does my dreambox have another unique ip address? Or shall I include this ip address when I send my C line for CS?

many thanks

Hi nelgo

Unique IP is UNIQUE then there is only ONE
To communicate whith your network, IP dream and IP network must be similare
Example: dream = 192.168.0.103
network pc = 192.168.1.2 than they can NOT comminicate
because usually net-mask is (255.255.255.0)

to commicate with you pc's, you need to change dreamIP as the same network of your DSL router.

Usually router IP = 192.168.0.1 then the firs pc on your network need eg: 192.168.0.2 the second 192.168.0.3 (never the SAME)
Your dream is similar to computer then you must change it's IP as eg, 192.168.0.10

How to:(only without DHCP active)
find the PC's local IP =
Windows star menu, then select execute type "cmd" and press ok
A black windows will appear.
Usually you can see "
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
(C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.
E:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur.LONDON.000>
(Last line will be different than your's )
On this window type:
ipconfig/all and then enter

You can see : Adress IP ................192.168.1.2this is the PC's IP
and default gateway ................192.168.1.1
and netwok mask ................255.255.255.0

Then your dream IP must be 192.168.1.X

GREEN = Always the same

RED = Always different

Addon:
If DHCP is actived on your network, you can'NOT change any IP adress
Assume that dreambox DHCP is actived too. Then you don't need to change any IP, Windows will change it for you.
The best way is to attribute manual IP to all network parts
