Well there are 2 ways to figure that out.įind out what the IP address of your DreamBox is.įor the purpose of example, I will use 192.168.1.100 Here. How do I know that my DreamBox has Samba running? However, some images do not start the Samba service automatically (like some Nitro version).

Most images come with Samba, which is great. Using Samba allows your Windows PC to 'see' the shared files and folders on your DreamBox (by default simply the entire harddisk). Samba is a great Linux 'tool', no I should no say 'tool', rather a component or service on your computer - or in this case your DreamBox - that enables sharing harddisk files and folders in a Windows (SMB) network environment.

So you have a harddisk in your DreamBox and you want to access the files on this disk from your Windows PC, say to copy recordings to your PC so you can burn them on DVD. Note: Most the examples are based on a DreamBox running the Nitro image - other images may respond differently.
