I found this about the Boxee Box and custom DNS on the net: īut I would suggest to check first if it will work altogether by just changing the DNS setting for the network adapter in your computer without changing anything in the configuration of the router. And you can't just bypass the chain of networks on the internet. Gateways are used to connect one network to another network, and so on. And the gateway of your local network is your router itself. You should not have to change the gateway the router is connected to as that's the link/connection to your provider(s router). It has potential but the bugs ruin the whole thing, if only I could get it to accept manually put in network addresses so I could USE the apps I need for it.Ģ) trying to get the most out of it by using dynamic DNS addresses from a paid siteģ) Boxee Box won't take manually input network addresses ( bugged is my guess )Ĥ) Tried to change the routers internal gateway address to the same as the intended 'external' DNS address to force the boxee box to take it by using "automatic DHCP" settings which work 100%ĥ) almost bricked the router when I went in and manually changed the OLD gateway address to a new one ( which is the same as the DNS I want to use on the boxee box )Ħ) Need help figuring this out, really wanna make this box work since it really is a nice piece of kit if it would work properly.
Is what I am trying to do even possible? It seems it would be the perfect fix for the Boxee Box which I am rapidly loosing patience with, had it for 1 week and nothing works on it. In the end I had to reset the router to factory settings to get the control back, and regain my internet. Problem was after I "flashed" the router with new sets of IPs for the gateway I lost internal connection to it, I couldn't access the web based GUI by typing in the NEW gateway address, and the old didn't work either - no IP address worked at all ( went into cmd and ran "ipconfig" and tested them all no go ). I went into the routers web GUI and downloaded the "bios", and then started casually modding it, looking for the gateway address/ip and then simply changing it to the gateway address of my liking, which was the SAME as the DNS I intend to force my Boxee Box to connect to ( since I noticed it ALWAYS use the same IP as the gateway to connect to the DNS ) I figured this would work. Yes, thats were my idea of simply changing the router gateway IP came to life. I tried simply changing the DNS server on the router through DOS but that didnt seem to transfer via DHCP to the box, it still kept its original DNS server which oddly enough seem to be the same as the routers internal gateway address/IP.

My idea was to instead, of fighting a bugged out mediabox with lackluster software I try and by-pass the issue by indirectly forcing the Boxee Box to take my assigned new DNS server via the router. Problem is that the Boxee Box seem to have some serious glitches and outstanding bugs preventing many users from manually setting the network settings from within the Boxee Box interface/GUI. I recently gotten myself a Boxee Box and to get it to work optimally ( at all ) I need to use a diffrent DNS server to connect to so I get access to all the good stuff on Hulu, Netflix and so on.

The information dump also contains the user’s encrypted passwords, password change dates, group IDs, dates of birth, IP addresses they connected from, Boxee site activity, as well as their full personal message history. Of those, almost 5,500 have more than one address in the dump including high profile electronic and telecommunication companies along with 77,061 gmail accounts. Included with the accounts, the information dump contained 172,234 email addresses from a total of 17,653 email providers / ISPs. The leaked data contains 158,128 user accounts, many of which have been banned according to a field in the users table. The leak was announced on a private forum and the database information has been uploaded to a TOR service in the format of a raw SQL dump extraction totaling 792 MB and containing an impressive 192 tables, apparently obtained via SQL injection.
Plus, really, they’re running unsecure software and I’m still sitting with a backdoor on it, so really, they’ve learned nothing”. It turns out that is part of the motivation of the hacker who said he did it to “mostly to make fun of samsung, and whatnot.
In some regards, it really couldn’t be a worse time for them as they have recently announced they are moving to Samsung after six years of being private.
