DM500 cccam help
does anyone know of a step by step tutorial on cardsharing with cccam over an adsl internet connection?
I have a dm500s and a dm500c and am trying to share between two houses but having some problems. Foxtel works individually in each of the boxes if the card is inserted, but i'm really struggling to get the sharing working. I think I've got the cccam.cfg set right for each and ports are forwarded in the server dreambox's router. Can anyone think of anything i might be missing?
I can ping the DNS i set up and also the ip of the router at server end.

Must be something else, I reckon the CCcam.cfg is right. I used an excel sheet that makes up the C and F lines from details I type in. Also put in th listen port on the server box CCcam.cfgOriginally Posted by robpi
how do you edit your .cfg files.
other words what program did you use?
dont forget to port forward the port for incoming CS requests. allow through any firewall etc
I use DCC (Dream Control Center) Move to the directory tat contains the file you want to edit, right click, select edit.
I use a program called DCC. I can use FTP in this program to get to the file to edit it. Suppose I could just use some other FTP software. I have a couple of programs.
done the necessary ports changes in your routers, Port Forwarding?
I've forwarded TCP 12000 in the router to the address of the server dreambox. There is no other firewall at that end. At client end (on client router) do I need to forward that port to the client dreambox as well? I've put the port into CCcam.cfg
yes, you need to do it at both ends.
Have you given the dreams static addresses?
What is the best way of getting a static IP?
I just have the dynamic ones in at the moment, but luckily they haven't changed since I set it all up. I registered at dyndns and set up a couple of names but i'm not sure how to use them. Ok, worked it out. I need to use the update tool from dyndns too.
Sounds like my problem is that I don't have the port forwarded at the client end. I'll give that a shot tonight and report back.
Not sure about dns as I haven't used is myself. Maybe someone else here can help you on that.
I would use static addresses, more reliable.
If you know what the dynamic ones are now, just make them the same, but static.
Go into the dreambox network settings and uncheck DHCP and change the ip address to yours.
Make sure the gateway address is the ip address of your router.
You only require the port forwarding to be set up at the router of the site where the server is located. This where the requests are going to.

I wasn't very specific there. The dreamboxes both have static local IP addresses, i.e. DHCP is off.
It's the external IP address for the server end that I was talking about, but the DynDNS service will sort that out. I'm thinking about putting in a seperate PC as a server, so that may actually simplify things.
dyndns or no-ip will make a static URL for a dynamic IP. there are plugins for dreamboxes to sort this too.
Also make sure the attributes in the Dream are set to 777 for each of the cams and config files. (Just right click using DCC and set the attributes)
Sorry, yes you are right, leroy
I normally port forward the client side ftp port, so if i need to mod the CCcam.cfg file I can do it from anywhere over the wan.
And I suggest you change the default password on the box.
One of the first things I did!
Can you please give me more details on this plugin?
Thankyou to everyone for the help. I now have a couple of things I can try to fix this up. After I try it out, I'll post up here if anything works or not.
There are a number of things I would do to troubleshoot the situation.
Open up telnet port 23 at your router end port forward this port to your dreambox. I would also do this at the client end so I could see what was going on with the client end.
Open up port 16001 for the web based interface a the server end.
Go to or and check the ip a the server end. Write down the ip. Make sure your dyndns client is running and updates the ip correctly to the one you just wrote down.
Try to telnet to the server dreambox from a computer a the server end.
ie. telnet 58.56.21.56 or your dyndns name. You should get the dreambox prompt if your router port forward is set to go to the dreambox.
If this is working you should just need the C: line at your client end.
If the C line is correct you should see the client login through the web interface.
then click the client tab you should see you remote client.
