Have you got the box set up properly to be seen in network. DHCP enabled and check the I.P address in the settings.

That is if your going through a router.

i am not being able to flash my dreambox 500C. Problem i am having is that the Ethernet port does not detect the dreambox. When i conect other devices it the LAN port works fine. I am having the same problem in my laptop and desktop. My friends laptop works fine though. Please help me.

Is there a menu mode that the Drembox should be in io order to receive external LAN communication? All of the configuration settings seem to be correct.

**Bacon** · 25th February, 2010, 02:53 AM

The owners manual only indicates to press the red remote button; but, that doesn`t get me into the teletext menu in the receiver. Is there some special way I must log ito this menu? Current sucsessful attempts to ping (pc to ird) still leaves me unable to connect with DCC or FTP programs.
You`d be most kind to assist and any info will be appreciated.

Ok, please some help. As at the moment I have ripped all muy hair out and I am know bald.

Ok I had the old Digital Worlds 2.0 image and thought let me try and have a go of the dk1.1 image.

I flashed this using dreamup to my box no probs however took it downstairs plugged it in to my tv an bank screen. Thats my first mistake I thin, (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong)

SO I brought it back and reflashed again.

I have just tried to FTP with flashfxp about 20 times now and it keeps coming back connection failed.

Should I have more patient and allow it delay for 120 seconds before reconnect attempt number 21 or am I missing something

Please advise?

Thanks in advance J
