If you connect your dreambox directly to the pc you need a "Cross-Over" networkcable, if you connect your
Dreambox to a switch/hub/router you need a ("common" networkcable - a so-called patchcable. If your
dreambox will not start anymore, you are able to get running again with the help of the so called "'Rescue

If there is no ip-address after about 30 seconds, check your dhcp-server settings and the cabling of
your network.
8. You can release the Standby-Button now. Your dreambox is now in "'Maintenance mode"'.
