i cannot seem to get the plugin partnerbox to function.

i have a vusolo2 as the main box running vix e2 image.

i have an ipbox 900hd running hdmu 11684 which i am attempting to use to watch the main box in another room.

both boxes are wired to my router

i have set up the partnerbox entry on the ipbox as the local address of the vusolo2.

i can see the bouquets and epg from the solo2 on the ipbox and when i select a channel to watch the solo2 zaps to that channel but the stream doesnt start - i just get a blank screen and the front panel on the ipbox just displays hdmu enigma2.

i can stream the solo2 to laptop wirelessly without any problems so i think the issue is with the ipbox/hdmu image or partnerbox plugin.
i can also ftp and wew the webif of the ipbox on laptop.
i have tried fresh install of hdmu and partnerbox image but the result is the same.

does anyone use a similar setup or have any ideas
thanks
