    Thanks for this
    I use the iptables that were installed with the auto script on a Debian server, on the most part this works well but can block out good peers at times too. How can i disable iptables to try failtoban and if i dont like it enable them back without much hassle?
    Cheers

    if they dont bin the line you gave them, i had a few that didnt, set the F line you made to them for zero shares, if you just delete the F line and they still try to login you will get a load of failed logins in your warning.txt, if your using a DM500 etc as a server it will quickly use up its memory and bring the server to a halt.

    Just thought i would post this as it might help out other users in the future.


    My story :)
    I bought a new server and setup Debian following the excellent guides on here, everything went smoothly and i thought this is getting a lot easier the cccam gods must like me now.
    Everything was rattling along nicely and all of a sudden the server would be unreachable from my pc or i would get error messages from ssh, cccaminfo page would maybe take 6 seconds to refresh if it did at all.
    Very strange and a reboot wasn't helping it this time, i thought i faced the prospect of reinstalling Debian again which would have been typical especially after setting up samba shares, sabnzbd etc, or the network interface on the new box was faulty, i had already changed the cables twice and tried different ports on the router and switch.
    Then it dawned on me as the Mrs was complaining that her laptop wouldn't connect to the net or if it did it was very slow, i checked my router and sure enough the router was giving her the same ip i had set static on the server (stupid thing), set her a static ip on the laptop and restarted everything and both are flying along now.


    Its just something to think about when things loose connection or start acting odd, it saved me a reinstall...for now :)

    are you sure your connecting to the right ip address? this guide doesnt tell you how to set a static ip. You could maybe take a look in your router home page and see if theres a new computer connected, after you do get in with putty follow this guide, and change the ip to one that suits you.


    just install and reboot with your card in it, im not sure it will be recognized without the card, you will also need to add a line like this to your cccam.cfg SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+ you may need to change this to USB1 or USB2 etc.


    I had to plug my smargo into a powered usb hub before my pc would recognise it, for some strange reason it wouldnt work when i plugged it directly into the pc.

    when you ftp'd it did you chmod the file to 755, most ftp clients will allow you to do this. Not sure if you need to but thats what i do with any file i ftp to temp, might be worth a try

    i had the same issue with a loud fan, i disconnected it and bought a usb powered notebook cooler of ebay for ?3, the 800 is cool to the touch now and thats with a hdd installed.
