should dreamup still pick box up

[Thistledome]

Dont think you read it proper mate. You get a usb to male adapter then you plug null modem cable that is supplied as well from the adapter to the dreambox. You are getting 2 cables.

Sorry for the thread hijack but can you use an ethernet cable to connect from pc to DB?
to use dreamup?

The only way of using an ethernet cable with the dreambox is if you have the ip of the dreambox. Im assuming there is no image on your dreambox therefor you cannot. The only option is null modem.

If you have an image on it the yes.

Theres the standard image that the box comes with? i can turn the dreambox on adn look in the files etc is this what you mean when saying image...

Sorry to be a bit thick i can build websites and build car engines and wire cars, house etc but this is all new to me

Ok if you can start the image up go into setup communications network. The boxes ip will be in there.

Download this program. Its has all the stuff you need.

Once your downloaded give me a shout. Basically open dreambox control centre and connect to your dreambox either by crossover or by router. You'll need 2 cables to connect through the router obviously.

use the flashwizard program to flash the new image.
