DM500 Connecting to dbox without a remote

[1rv0]

Hi there peeps, long time since i've been here but I know someone somewhere on this forum will have a solution to my problem so here goes it:

I am very poor and live in an area where recieving an anolougue signal is just not happening nor digital set top box so I have to rely on my previously trusty DM500.

My prob is a long time ago i lost the remote control for it and have since been using my pc through a network to control my box.

So anyway 2 weeks ago something really weird happened to my box, it was off and i couldn't get it back on so i reflashed software.

Prob is now i can't scan for channels etc etc because i cannot connect to it via the network.

How do I get round this without having to buy a replacement remote control??

I've tried everyway I can think of up till now.

have you tried connecting box by pc interface although nagra 3 is now coming in all over uk. soon you will not be able to get no channels

which image did you flash? maybe we can find the default IP for it from that.

ccam 2.17.how does that make a difference

Thanks to all who tried to help I have now got my dreambox up and running now.

I remembered that a few years ago I made a bakup image via dreamup which I reflashed onto the box and the ip address was set as I have always had it allowing me to reconnect to the box itself.
