Unable to connect to ET9200 (Vix 2.3) using Dreambox Edit or browser

[garry1312]

Hi went to add bouquets to my new receiver and DreamboxEdit could not connect to it. So tried typing the IP address in to a browser and its not connecting to it either.

The router is assigning it a IP with DHCP. Also tried giving it a fixed IP that didnt work either.

Anyone any suggestions?

[Larry-G]

have you rebooted the receiver after assigning the fixed ip ?.

[garry1312]

yeah mate tried restarting enigma and the full receiver.

Logged on to the router and it can see it but having no luck connecting to it via the browser or DreamboxEdit

[Larry-G]

set the box to DHCP and reboot both the router and the box, see if that helps, dont worry we'll get you there.

[garry1312]

Hi mate just done what you suggested that never worked either.

Also tried changing the ethernet cable and tried another port on the router still no joy

[Larry-G]

strange very strange. is the box getting a connection to the net ?

you can test this by going to blue button > vix > image manager > yellow button. you should then be able to download various image versions from the server.

[garry1312]

Hi mate when i get in to image manager it says 'there was a problem with this device, please reformat'.

If i go in to menu --> plugins --> yellow it connects to that download server and allows me to download from there

[garry1312]

Anyone else able to shed some light on this please?

[Larry-G]

sorry mate i had to go out and get a new pad for my xbox lol, you may have a corrupted firmware, you could try re-flashing with the latest build downloaded from the image manager.

[garry1312]

hi mate as mentioned above the image manager wont work when i press yellow it wont allow me to. Image was installed by WOS I selected it when ordering.

[Larry-G]

hmm i'm at a loss then mate. although i would still consider doing a reflash as it does not take long to do.

you can get the image here

how do i flash with USB to I have to create files or what on it mate?

[Larry-G]

you want this image

ViX-2.3.133-et9x00_usb.zip‎

now i dont have a ET but this is how to flash it as far as i know.

1. Unzip compressed file.
2. Copy the "ET9x00" folder to a USB Pen Drive.
3. Power off receiver with the mains switch on the rear.
4. Connect USB Pen Drive.
5. Power on receiver with the mains switch on the rear.
6. Press the OK Button on the front panel (behind the front flap).

Update in progress.

The receiver will reboot automatically after update . ''

Excellent mate thanks I will give that a try.


You have been a great help thanks. Will post how I get on.

[machare]

Are you able to ping the box and get a response.
Are you able to connect to it using telnet or ftp?

[Larry-G]

Excellent mate thanks I will give that a try.


You have been a great help thanks. Will post how I get on.

no worries bud, well get you sorted.

[garry1312]

no still not able to connect to it after reflash. I can now get in to the image manager. But no point downloading 153 as that is what I have already installed.

Got to be something up with it never came across this before

[Larry-G]

ill have to let some one with one step in now then mate as its got me stumped.

[garry1312]

me to mate the network setup on enigma is the easiest part lol

Think I am going to need to send it back for a replacement as nothing will connect to it, it can connect but wont let anything in. Got other receivers on the network and all working fine.

[Stanman]

Have you tried telneting into the box?

Also go to plugins and see which webif is in there if openwebif, click into it and change the port to 00080 and than try to connect via browser and box IP address.

[garry1312]

Hi mate changing the port on OpenWebif plugin has allowed me to connect to it now.

Receiving this message now 'Directory ....................... contains no "services or lamedb" file. (SGT's bouquets)

Also Dreambox Control Center is saying:

Bootmanager: not found.

Is it maybe I am using the wrong username and password?

Username: root
and I am leaving password blank

[Stanman]

Don't use DCC, use filezilla and putty for telneting.

Make sure in your bouquet loader you have enigma 2 selected.

[garry1312]

Cool mate will download filezilla and putty.

Also it was not set to enigma2. Changed it but it fails the log below:

Thanks again guys

[garry1312]

new challenge for me.......... working out this filezilla lol

[Stanman]

its just like windows explorer except you need to put the boxes IP address, username - root and password in. rest is drag and drop and right mouse delete:thumbsup:

[garry1312]

not sure I am using the right one then FileZilla Client 3.5.2?

[Stanman]

I think thats the latest, its the version I use.

[Larry-G]

i'm more of a flash FXP user my self as i have a paid for version.

but take a look at this

[garry1312]

Were abouts do i put the IP username and password (am I right in saying just leave the password blank)

[Stanman]

host = Box IP address username = root password =the password or left blank if not set up.

[garry1312]
