DCC and Linux

Re: DCC and Linux

FYI, I've tried under wine the tools package downloaded from -http://www.satlover.com/forum/139189-post142.html

you need to be root to run it (because some of it run ICMP to test the network)
you need to properly setup /etc/hosts to replace the 127.0.0.1 line for a line with your correct IP

under DCC disable the network tests... and it works
DreamboxEdit : OK
FlashWizard : I've tested an image backup : OK...

so it seems Wine is definitely the way to have Dreambox tools under Linux

Where abouts is the network test setting in dcc, I cant seem to find any reference to it.

Re: DCC and Linux

you got that under "connection type"
there is a checkbox with "No Check"

check it.

If I don't check it I got a : "Error 10057in function Send Socket is not connected"

And as said, don't forget to modify your hosts file to have the proper computer IP appear in the combo list under "This Computer"

Don't hesitate to ask if I wasn't clear enough...

You are brilliant. That works 100 percent. That has been the main reason to keep a windows computer so I can easily communicate with dreambox, goodbye windows now I hope.
Thanks for your trouble.
