[QUOTE="shumifan50, post: 636542, member: 265778"] When you insert an entry into your hosts file you are bypassing the router entirely - the domain name is translated to the local LAN address using the hostfile and then routed purely internally. This will work but it does not test external access at all. To test external access you really need 2 broadband connections with your PC on one and the dreambox on the other. I have cable broadband and it does not allow access to my extrnal domains from a PC that is using it, I have to use my ADSL broadband to do that. [/QUOTE]
