I've looked at the earlier posts and they're way too negative.
The world is too negative already without my help.
Anyhow, I keep getting this error on my 3Com wireless router:
2007.08.29 20:58:33 **UDP Flood to Host** 192.168.a.b, 1024->> 192.168.c.d, 1000 (from ATM Outbound)
The first address is my Dreambox. I do not recognise the second address - it's not on the same network.
Who or what is the dreambox trying to contact ?
To Be Continued...
...Continued:
The problem is in /var/tuxbox/config/newcs.xml
under <debug>
I need to remove udp from <output>console,tcp,udp</output>
as the host is set to: <udp_host>192.168.0.100</udp_host>
- Problem solved !

First Post
OK, here goes - my first post. I guess that I should introduce myself and what I aim to accomplish. My name is Ed, and I am interested in techie bits around the home.
For my first few posts, I think I'll be focusing on VOIP and Satellite TV. I have a Dreambox DM500 satellite receiver which is a cute little linux box linked to a cheap Maplin LAN Disk to act as a PVR. At some point I would like to have another go at setting up a MythTV box to do the whole PVR thing, but I ran into problems and out of time when I was looking into this last year.
On the VOIP side, our phone is plugged into a Grandstream HandyTone 488 - this means we can make cheap international calls without needing to switch the PC on or mess about with proprietory systems.
I used to have the HandyTone 486 - this was a slightly simpler unit which had a far better pass-through when needing to use the landline. I may just have been unlucky with this box though. Either way, they have reduced our phone bill dramatically (my brother-in-law has the 486), and my wife can happily natter on for hours without us needing a second mortgage to pay off BT.
The (dis ?)advantage of the HandyTone is that it's not tied to a specific provider, you can just sign up with a company and alter the settings on the box to reflect this.
