hi all new here, had dreamboxes in the past and the early standard tms so not completely new to sat installations.
anyhow mate of mine wanted a sat installation, and lso wanted a tmhd box, bought a tm800hd from technomate stockists, guy in shp said it was basicly plug n play, has pli-2 iq image installed all the sats pre-loaded etc..
the set up is, a router upstairs in bed 1, with pc connected and x-box, bed 2 is wireless connected laptop, with lan connection going to tm800, pick up all the free to air all sats tuned in on motorised system from 53 east to 45 west,
the problem is connecting to internet, it doesn't happen,on network test, nameserver comes up as unconfirmed, this ip address is the routers, i have dhcp off in the menu, as have static ip on tm.
is it a problem using the laptop as basicly a wireless bridge?? should i go direct from the router?? could it be a problem with ethernet cable its patched??
i've pinged box from pc and it receives data, not sure if box is talking to pc??
the router is on talk,talk, could this be the problem of a dynamic ip address??
tried the checking key, pressing ok, to get into miniwenb, but laptop doesn't open anything, any help much appreciated,
can i use DCC to access tm as i'm more familiar with that control centre?? and i've looked all over the net for a tm800hd set up guide to no avail, bloke at technomate said one doesn't exist!!!!
and have not found a tm800hd set up guide, i think i may have to come from router but thought a wireless network would work with lap top as access point!!! internet speed is good on laptop getting 5.5 meg,
any help much appreciated, never had trouble with dreamboxes as support on these is easy to find, this is a totally different thing altogether, thanks in advance...:)
