Entering server info, (Detailed guide)
Credit to "hedo2002"

Here is a "how to" for entering server info:

Hit the menu button,
navigate to the configuration menu,
then navigate to the network settings menu hit OK
you will now see a screen which should read DHCP and have the values filled in, (at least one DNS setting should be populated),
Hit the BLUE button on the remote, enter password 0000 is default.
You will now see a screen with 8 blank slots.
Navigate to the first empty slot, hit OK
you will now be presented with a screen with the following fields
Server Name
Port
User name
Password
DES
connect

You are now ready to begin entering your server info.

Navigate to the first space, hit OK on remote,
enter server name or the IP using the remote and the on screen keyboard,
Hit the RED button on the remote, (save), the info will be saved but it will not show on the screen. hit EXIT,
navigate to the Port slot, enter the port info. Hit the EXIT button if you hit the RED button it will save and exit.
navigate to the user name slot, enter your info, it IS case sensitive. hit the RED button then exit,
navigate to the password slot, enter your info, it iS case sensitive, hit the RED button then exit,
navigate to the DES slot, enter the info any letters will be UPPER case, hit the RED button and then exit.

Now you can now navigate to the final slot press OK on the remote. You will see one of two messages.

1. "Server is connected!" you may now exit the network settings, be sure to SAVE the settings when prompted on screen. In the network settings menu you will see a message, (lets say you have entered server info for 4 servers, and you have decided to "activate" 3 of them. The message will say connected (1,2,4), that is assuming these are the servers you have activated. Again exit saving when prompted. As long as your tuned to a working channel the pic should now appear.

2. "server - can't connect" If you get this message, first do a hard reboot, (from the rear switch).
If after rebooting the server still will not connect and your internet connection is ok. Then it is likely you have entered the info incorrectly and you must redo the settings. If after a couple of attempts then reboot your modem, then router then dreamlink, waiting approx 1 minute in between each reboot

You should now be connected ENJOY.

Thanks - I borrowed this post.. Here is some more info that you may need.

I found out that you need to do some additional saving in the Network Setting page after saving your Server Settings..

Good Luck!

You probably have a typo in your info IF your server is active/subscribed. You cant see info after you enter it which is why the make2dream batch prog was made. its just txt file you CAN SEE server info and edit any mistakes and then load via usb stick to DL HD Rec.
