I would say you really need to have a look at the Forum rules all 'Server' discussion is now a No-Go subject, as for the 500 you may have repaired the dry joint problem with the tuner but did you inspect all of the mainboard especially around the RJ45 jack.

8 years is a good run for DM500 perhaps its time for something new
