Have you tried typing the VU's ip address in the address bar of your web browser? see if it will connect that way

Ok lads I have managed to get the router connected ( nearly divorced ) anyway now when I go to load enigma 2 Bouquet through Dreamboxedit its coming up as unable to connect..I tried a null modem cable and enthernet between pc and box.

With Dreambox edit you only need to enter the ip for you Vu and then in user you put root and password leave blank.
On a local lan there is no reason not for it to connect other than you AV/ firewall blocking it.

some ftp type progs dont like " " (blank) as a password

it might help if you telnet the unit, (ip of your unit, login = root password " " blank/nothing then type

passwd (not password) you will be prompted to type in a new password, do so, (no text will be seen)
then you will be prompted to repeat your new password, again type in the password (no text will be seen again)
once done...it will confirm the password has changes

it should write to you your network details
do u have an ip, netmask, gateway and name server all these have numbers beside them

if so, what is your router u r using, is it forwarding the ftp port for any reason to another computer.

this gets back to my post .....you need to telnet the unit, or use winSCP

tandaman
28-08-10, 00:12
ah man think i might have bitten off more than i can chew...I have all the numbers next to ip gateway and so on...downloading winSCP now and will have a look and see if I can use it...really appreciate the help guys

28-08-10, 00:24
the reason you are having problems useing dream edit, is that it does not reconize a blank password

use the telnet instructions, then try, if you do not no how to use telnet, (many do not) please say so..and we can help you

if u mean to change the password then it is "passwd" without the ""

tandaman
28-08-10, 00:56

You need to use telnet and give your box a password.

I suggest you download putty.

make sure webinterface is enabled
to find vox ip address:
menu>setup>system> network: adapter settings

the box ip should be displayed there
