    That's correct, in the stormy south west.
    Bandwith and ping seem to be ok, the port forwarding is the issue.
    Was doing a bit of googling and found this:

    ***VPN offers an one ‘all-in-one’ plan starting at €7 (approx. $9) per month, going up to €54 (approx. $70) for a year’s subscription. There is also a 3 day trial for €1 (approx. $1.30), although if you email them ***VPN will give you this 3 day trial for free. ***VPN is very proud of the fact that it supports dynamic Remote Port Forwarding, which can, among other things, increase P2P performance and avoid restrictions placed on particular ports by ISP’s and is especially useful when using older P2P torrent clients such as eMule/eDonkey that are not able to perform NAT-punching.The ***VPN client is Windows only (with a different version for Windows 8), but instructions are provided for setting up in Linux, MacOSX, Android , iOS, and DD-WRT and Tomato routers


    Any thoughts?

    I am getting broadband through an antenna which is pointing to a relay station(probably not the right term). I haven't a phone line , but those next door have and are on more or less dial up speeds due to being so far from exchange. No fibre coming here for foreseeable future, not enough households to justify expence. The xbox seems to work ok for online gaming though, have never had any complaints from the young one about it. After putting a new router in this morning because i had connection issues with server

    now running dd-wrt and when i open ports in this, canyouseeme.org still can't see it. Rang provider and thats the story i was told.
    Could try satellite but was exorbitant last time i enquired.
    Will a vpn be the way to go as i don't really have another broadband alternative and those fu*kers know it.
    Cheers.

    Hello,
    My isp blocks all ports except the few needed to receive broadband.
    I am told that i have dynamic private-range IP as WAN address on my router, so I can't do any port forwarding.
    Because of this,my public ip doesn't really point to my private ip making my no-ip account useless.
    They are looking for 100 euro to change it to a permanent static ip which i can then port forward.
    I am restricted to this provider as i cannot get any real speed from others using a phone line, i am told that i'm too far from the exchange.
    Is there any way around this with a vpn or will i have to bite the bullet and stump up?
    Also, could anyone tell me if i have to go the static ip route, are there any pros/cons, is there any need fo no-ip/dyndns?
    Thanks.

    Update.
    I managed to connect to my server using a new netgear router running dd-wrt.
    Are my solo2 configs ok to activate/ update my card?



    Thanks

    That is correct, can putty and winscp but cannot get my solo or ariva to connect. Ariva can ping using newcamd client but cannot log on with it or cccam. Solo can't log on either, according to the cccam webif.
    I am working today and wont be home till morning so will post my cccam config from solo then.
    I have a share from another member of this site and when i enter his line into my cccam config, the solo can clear his sub.
    I run tenbelow's blackhole 2.0.7 image with cccam 2.3.0, downloaded from linuxsat addons, if thats any help.
    I also have a linksys wrt54gs router (the version that cannot support dd-wrt) and have forwarded my listening port, although i have had problems with it in the past. Think i'll have to get a new router anyway as I don't think i can assign a static ip for my server with the firmware in the linksys (although it remembers it more often than not)
    Do I need to port forward within my own network?
    Do I need to use my no-ip address (i was only using servers ip) in the cline when i only want to connect within my own network?
    Thanks.

    Hello all.
    I have built an ubuntu server with an omnikey reader following thatfellows tutorial http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=16479 but cannot connect to it from my home network.
    I am hoping to subscribe to 5etanta and share, and would like my solo2 to update/activate my card.
    The server is running version 1.20-unstable_svn, build r8917. The solo2 is running cccam 2.3.0
    I realise my card has no entitlements yet but I presume I should still be able to connect to my server.
    Would like to make sure that everything is in order before i sign up as i don't want to miss any entitlements sent.
    Could anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks.

    I have a solo2 and is a cracking piece of kit.
    One problem is lack of blindscan.
    If thats important, an uno twin tuner is your man.
    Great receiver also.
    Bought one for my brother, who lives in a hole and can't receive saorview, so has to use saorsat on 9deg east.
    Solo2 couldn't pull it in. Uno had no problem with it.

    Easier to put it in the receiver through your laptop/pc
    Just type in ip address of receiver into internet explorer and it will give you the ariva webif
    Click on module and it is fairly straight forward from there.

    Normally to save list , i choose "dump".
    That creates a dumpfile/backup.abs file on usb stick.


    Then to upload again, i choose "userdb".
    Don't think you should try to load list from one model to a different model (ie from 102e to 202e) as this could give you ASH error on receiver and you'll then need rs232 null modem cable to recover the box.

    You'll probably get the usual reply, "we're looking into it and hope to resolve it with a new firmware update".
    Could be a while though.
    Did you try the 252 firmware with a channel list from a 250?
    Might be worth a go at this stage.
    Can upload one for you to see if it i'll flash.
    It's for 28.2 and may need updating though as i don't have that model.

    Have to agree with stevejo. Solo2 rocks. Its lightening fast and a pleasure to use. I took the plunge and never looked backed.
    I've messed around with a couple of receivers but none compare to it for support, speed and functionality . If you can afford to splash out, you won't be disappointed. The duo2, looks good but in all honestly I think its overpriced and the lcd screen is more a cosmetic attraction than a functional one. My tuppance worth anyway.
