    I sent a pm properly this time I hope lol, had a typo in the Cline.


    I couldn't find the dns status info as described, though I did a port test by entering "xxxxx.dyndns.org" (rather than using my specific ip address) at Open Port Tool - DynDNS.com and got the following results:


    "xxxxx.dyndns.org:12203 is open and accepting connections. This indicates the port is not being blocked by either a firewall or your ISP and is currently operational."


    This should be ok shouldn't it? Doesn't it prove the dns is working and the port is being forwarded okay too?

    Hi humphrey3000,


    Yes by the sound of it you have did everything correctly and are now ready for the next step.

    So you are ready to share but first make sure the card is working, try the following channels Pick TV, Five US, Five*.
    If they do not open look at the entitlements in oscam web info by doing the following.


    In your web browser type


    Code
    http://[COLOR='#FF0000']IpOfDrembox[/COLOR]:8888/


    E.G 192.168.0.9


    Click Readers



    Then view entitlements




    This will show you if the card is still active.



    If all is good your next stop is here to let us all know you have it working. beer10

    It seems you may have a problem mate!


    The line you sent me has never been active..


    Although putting the cline you sent me in your own cfg along with the fline is probably the problem!


    I can confirm Humphrey has everything working, you may want to check your own end though lol.

    No I've left it in there glenviewjf. Only taken out the cline which I thank you for putting me right on. Could it have been the typo difference between your version of my fline and the one I used?
    Thanks also to Ten Below and previous posters for being really helpful along the way here. I can't tell you how much more interesting this has been when you know someone is there ready to help. It's fantastic!


    Can you bare be with me just a couple of more posts to see me get off the ground a little bit further :)


    I've followed Ten Below's instructions above to check entitlements by clicking on the icon circled, but I don't think I'm even entitled to a glass of water! :0. I assume I should see a list of things quite interesting but instead I only get:


    ->[videoguard2-reader] type: VideoGuard B***B (0963), caid: 0963
    [videoguard2-reader] serial: 0xCxBx6x, BoxID: 001x1x1x, baseyear: 1997


    Does that mean it's over for me? Instead of proceeding to the Working Local(s) Forum am I going to be directed to the "GoToCoventryUntilYouHaveSomethingInteresting" Forum?


    Ahh well...

    Below that info you should see several lines that look something like this like this


    videoguard2-reader] tier: 1234, expiry date: XXXXXXXX


    Leave it on one of those channels for some time & it may come to life, if you have the original sly box this may be worth a go also.


    How to force updates to your sly card


    If none of the above works its not the end of the world as you can still use


    No Local But I Like To Experiment

    Thanks mate.


    I'd like to learn more about hops. I think I get about hops being 1,2 or 3. But I aslo see that some are specifying hops = x when asking for a share. I'm sure it's obvious once told, but what does the value of x mean? Sorry if a daft question. Are there any tuts on this forum I've missed when searching about this?

    At the rate I'm learning I have'nt got a hop in hell :)


    My vague understanding means that a hop1 means the server feeding you has a local card, and hop2 means the server receives the card from another server and then passes it on to you which can result in a lag that will get worse at hop3, etc, with a greater risk of freezing because of the delay in the key info arriving?


    Then if someone says they have (for example) hop 1=10 , hop 2=200, hop 3 = 2500 does it mean they have 2500x hop3's to share?? How does that work in real time?


    And does the above typical stat mean that the person has 10 people already connected to him at hop1? Or that he has ONE server connection at hop1 and can host a max 10 connections to others?

    It all depends on the reshare level he has on those shares...

    10 hop1 means he is getting 10 locals on share...


    A local card when shared goes to hop1...


    If he shared his hop1 to you they would be hop2 on your server...


    And the same his hop2 would show as hop3 on your server..
