You could always put the keys in manually.

Use a file manager programme. Its tuxbox commander on a Dbox2, not sure if its the same on a dreambox.

Must be a tut on it somewhere if you search.

You can't FTP over the serial port mate.

You're only hope is grabbing an already configured image complete with the new roms and transfer the entire thing via DreamUp.

So build yourself a complete image and upload it, easy

u can read the telnet post on how to backup the working image and then use dreamup to put it onto your box with the broken ethernet port...

Read this mate...

Guide: Flash and Backup an Image via Telnet

BTW, are you 100% certain that the LAN port is ****ed?

Have your ruled out dodgy network configs?

I have the same problem with a dodgy ethernet port
is this a common thing on clones, is it worth trying to re-solder it or is that likely to cause more problems . . .
