    Like a few posts above your own, you probably have a serial cable and not a null modem cable.

    Make sure that the 'use network' box is UNCHECKED.

    There's no other settings, if it doesn't work, it's the box that's faulty or the cable is wrong.

        I can't read the error.

        Click on the 'flash erase' option and it will erase the flash, do this TWICE!

        Then download the original firmware from the dream multimedia website...

        Code:
        http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/dm500/images/rel109-20060803.img
        Flash that image then flash the DW image.

                  i had similiar error while using usb to serial adaptor so if you are using usb to serail adaptor you better be carefull becasue you might ~~~~ the bootloader and will need a jtag. it happened with me and i had to take the box to a tech to flash the chip .

                      Remember to enter the router ip address in the 'default gateway' section of the network page on the dreambox.

                      There's a verison of the Dw v2 image in the downloads which has the AU fix included. If you're happy with simply flashing and not so sure about the FTP side, you might be better flashing this. Then all you need to do is scan.

                          turn the box of at the plug and send the firmware again and after a few seconds power the box up

                              If you've got the AU included in the image then you don't need to turn it on.

                              Just scan for channels and go to a premium channel and it will AU.
