You don't need to configure the router, but you can if you want to.

Reasons you might want to:

Need DHCP because people run in and out with their laptops....

I can't think of any others :)

If you can't route by MAC address with your router, you should assign each DB a high-end IP address.

Let's call the DB's Box1 and Box2

Give box1 IP 192.168.1(0).251
Give box2 IP 192.168.1(0).252

192.168.1(0).252 means:

192.168.1.252 or 192.168.0.252 depending on your home network

These addresses are unlikely ever to be assigned by DHCP in a home and so will not cause network conflicts.

Turn off DHCP in both boxes (not in the router).

Install CCcam on both boxes. I'm assuming that you have a card and CCcam reads it directly.

Your CCcam.cfg can be nearly the same in both boxes. This is unusual!!! It is because you are sharing in-house only. You cannot add another box without changing things a bit.

If you want to do that and do not understand how, please just say so.

For your situation, this will work.

CCcam.cfg for box1

F: user2 pass2
C: 192.168.1(0).251 12000 user1 pass1

CCcam.cfg for box2

F: user1 pass1
C: 192.168.1(0).252 12000 user2 pass2

You only need two lines in each CCcam.cfg

You must make certain your router is not forwarding any ports from the outside. You also need to make sure that anyone who gets on your local network is someone you know, because they will have completely unrestricted access to your Dreamboxes. This includes access to the LAN via wireless.

If you feel like you need to make things a bit more secure, just tell us.

Many thanks to cnByaG for explaining my syntax. It wasn't very clear.

Your local network can be done in a lot of different ways. [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] The 192.168.XXX.XXX is the most common. Of these, 192.168.0.XXX and 192.168.1.XXX are the most common. Your particular router seems to use 192.168.1.XXX, but this could easily be different if you got it from your ISP.

If you need to check for certain which it really is, just go by the address you use to browse to your router (probably 192.168.1.1). The digits after the final dot (.) in the router's IP address can be assigned to your home devices so they are all on the same network. Each device must have a different number and can be between 1 and 254, router included. Again, the higher the better to avoid DHCP trying to assign an address you've already given out. You can also avoid the DHCP problem by modifying the DHCP End Address, but I said you would not have to configure the router at the beginning, so I won't force you to...
