Hi guys, right where do i start..I have a laptop with a wireless internet connection, a wireless router(obviously) and a DM500C dreambox with the "dream" or menu button not working for some strange reason. Ive downloaded flash fxp, ive connected the dreambox to my router using the ethernet cable that came with the router, im assuming the laptop doesn,t have to be connected to anything seein as its a wireless connection???..question(s) are: can I fix this without the menu button working? and im I connecting the equipment up correctly. any advice is very much apreciated.

Thanks ( a very frustrated scurders!! )

Oh and "hail hail" witchy2k1 nice to see a fellow tim.

Reboot your Dreambox then have a look in your router and see what IP address your Dreambox has, then just enter the address into your FTP software

should be a tab for attached devices, mines a netgear so yours may be slightly different.

if you only have the dream and pc connected then there will be two showing in attached devices make sure you use the one that is for your dreambox.

Ok, ive been looking through the menus for awhile now and the only thing i can see that vaguely resembles attached devices on my linksys router is "DHCP active IP table" and this is showing only one client "Rebecca" which is the name of my daughter and the name the missus gave the laptop when we first bought it. does this mean the router isn,t recognising the box or am i looking in the wrong place? the router knows there is something in port one as a green light is on and there is two green lights showing inside the dreambox when connected to the router.

I would use any port to connect your router to pc and dreambox. Try to restart all your connected devices and see how it goes.

You can't ftp with a null modem cable. A null modem cable is only used for flashing with dreamup.

A crossover ethernet cable is required for ftp.

It all depends how you deleted those files in the first place. Did you uses DCC or just ftp and uses linux command?
if you can restart enigma those locked files usually will be back to either 644 or 755. failing that, you can attempt using those command under telent screen.
Let me know if you feel confident using command such as chmod, rm or ls

I just wanted to say a very big thank you for this very simple guide to updateing my dreambox. It was so simple and straight forward!

I wish I'd come here first instead of spending days on other forums getting messed around with their newbie rules!

You have helped to educate me in the use of my dreambox! (I bought it totally set up, so had very little knowledge of how to update it).

Thank you!

Colm
