sorry maybe the way i said it confused some people.. i have a real ip and
the traffic goes over my ethernet card.. this is the IP my EON provider gave
me that I should use on the DVB interface.. they only provide support under
windows and the ip goes under TCP/IP protocol for the DVB adapter.. so i
assumed it should be set for my dvb0 interface under linux instad of
162.168.4.1

i noticed it is provided with 0.7 but not 0.7.1.. but it doesnt change
things apparently :)

outcommand error happens almost immediately.. probably as soon as any
communication is tried on the dvb0 interface. should i try upgrading the
card's firmware ? if it is some low-level hardware problem maybe i can fix
it that way.. not sure if the dvb cards have flash memory or not. but now
that we're here apparently this is the reason why it isn't working.

of couse i'll appreciate any ideas and suggestions you might have. and
thanks for your help so far.

kind regards,
