Do you no how to connect your pc to your dbox?
If not then there is a guide and the program you need to connect your dbox to your pc>>>> Digital Kaos - Downloads - FlashFxp
Also you will need a xover cable to connect your box to your pc.
Try this then when you are connected then post back then will tell you what to do next.

Are you connected to your dbox with that program flashfxp?

[mccanndh]

how do ino if im connected? ive run the program and the ehternet lead is plugged in the dbox

[gizmo.1484]

the ethernet lead is plugged in the box

You need to use a cross over cable not a plan old ethernet cable.
If you are using a x over cable then go into the flashfxp program change the ip to the same as your dbox change username to root change password to dbox or dbox2 if you are using commando image then change to commando then press on apply then on connect you will see in the bottom screen the files been open by your computer,
If you read the guide i gave you and followed it to a tee apart from the network connection you will get connected in no time

[mccanndh]

i only have one ethernet slot and i bought the cross over lead do i have to be connected to the interent at the same time when running flash fxp ive only got one ethernet connection?

No , you dont need to be connected to the internet, a direct connection will be ok if you want to transfer files to and from your PC.

First off m8 make sure your firewall is switched off. Including windows firewall. Then enter ip of box into ftp prog and connect.
