At the moment, if the keys changed, you would need to manually enter them again. With this fix, it will automatically update the keys if they change. Before this fix was available, and you had to manually enter the keys, sites were offering the keys because everyone needed them. Now that the fix is out, the keys won't be posted anymore because they don't need to be. So if you decide not to include the fix, you will find it hard to get keys when they change because most folk will have the update.

Have a read at the links in my signature.

Emmm...yes, I think

.

You need to use a crossover ethernet cable to transfer files to and from the dreambox. FTP program is also needed so Filezilla would be ok. The null modem cable is only used for flashing an image with dreambox. The nagrarom7.bin file is not an image, it's a single file that goes inn the /var/keys folder on your dreambox so you can't use the null modem cable.

The dreambox doesn't need to be connected to a tv or feed, just sure that the network settings and ip address are correct before you unplug from the tv. I would recommend it is connected to a tv because it make it easier to change the settings if you've not got them right. I can see you spending a lot of time going back and forth.

i have cable modem with only 1 ethernet port so i think to add other ethernet wire would be a bit hard or can i just unplug the ethernet cable from my modem and use that to go in my dbox?

NO, it would need to be a crossover ethernet cable, not a standard patch cable which is what the modem uses.

If you have tv card or video capture card, that would be best.

Or get a USB to Ethernet adapter.

You can't connect 2 devices to one ethernet port, that's physically impossible.

Simply disconnect your modem while you make the changes to your dreambox, then reconnect your modem.

The second post it this thread tells you how to reconfigure your TCP/IP settings of the network card to manually assign an ip address.
