try different dream ups mate plenty to choose from ////Hi I have a dreambox 500 (actually a black box 500) which i have not used for a while. It was working but when i turned it back on i get a black screen. I have tried to telnet into it which worked once but crashed and i haven't been able to do it since.
Now i cannot telnet in because it will not boot up and connect to my router. I can see the lights on the router where i plug the ethernet cable in, which makes be believe the box is sort of working, but it is not getting an ip address (not in routers DHCP list)
i have bought a null modem cable and connected it to my pc (windows 7 64bit) and tried to use dreamup (version 1.3.3.9) which doesn't seem to conenct to the box. I have com1 and com2 in the dropdown but neither will do anything. It just says preparing, now turn on the dreambox. I then plug in the ac and try and turn the box on. After a minute or so the lights on the board come on so i know the box is partly booting, but the dreamup doesn't do anything.
It my box broken? Does dreamup work with windows 7, or do i need t configure the com ports? how do i know which one to use, com1 or com2? I don't have access to an xp pc either. I have tried running dreamup as administrator and with comparability xp sp3 btu still nothing.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Chris
