NTL Cable tv box and Belkin Wireless Cable Gateway Router
I am using a Belkin Wireless Cable Gateway Router connected to a NTL cable tv box and everything is working fine with a wireless connection from my wireless enabled laptop (internet, email etc). I am now trying to connect the dreambox to the Belkin Wireless Cable Gateway Router through one of the hard cable connections ports on the rear of the hub, but I have not been able to get anywhere with setting up the connection. I have asked this question a couple of days ago but forgot to mention the cable tv box part.
when I enter the HOME PAGE of the Belkin router I am given the following information;
LAN Settings;
IP Address: 192.168.2.1.
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Server: Enabled
Internet Settings; ( I think these may be the NTL's Cable TV box settings)
Connection Type: Dynamic.
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.
WAN IP: xx.xxx.xxx.xx.
Default Gateway: xx.xxx.xxx.x.
DNS Address: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
Features;
NAT: Enable.
Firewall Settings: Enable.
SSID: belkin54g.
Encryption: Disable
when I enter the LAN SETTINGS page of the Belkin router I am given the following information;
IP Address: 192.168.2.1.
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Server: on.
IP Pool Starting Address: 192.168.2.2.
IP Pool Ending Address: 192.168.2.100.
Lease Time: Forever
Local Domain Name: Belkin
My question is what do I enter into the dreambox communication setup page;
IP: 192.168.2.24. (when I enter this number I can ping the dreambox from my laptop)
Netmask: 255.255.255.0.
Type: LAN
Nameserver: 192.168.2.1.
Gateway: 192.168.2.1.
Configure Network: X
Port: 80
with the above settings I can ping the dreambox from my laptop but if I try to attempt an internet - software update, I get the message "Can't resolve host name".
Also if I attempt an ftp connection using the ip connection from above (192.168.2.24) then I get an error "! Receive error: Blocking call cancelled.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Many thanks in advance.
