search new ip of box by dcc

Start it up as if you were going to reflash it, ie. power off>hold button on front of box and >power on until it shows 'stopped' and lists the IP. Then just press the button to reboot normally.

In DCC - click telnet - then type passwd - if you get a message to retype password before you enter one just press enter and input the passwd command again - now enter password and confirm.

This should now resolve your bootmanager message.

You will need one of them crappy converters no guarantee it will work,they are usb ones like this one.
Shop around you might get one cheaper.
