                Set your pc nic to 10baseT_halfduplex or 10 halfmode and give your pc nic a ip of 192.168.1.201 subnet 255.255.255.0
                in dboxmanager put a ip of 192.168.1.202

                    Have you set your pc nic up like i said earlier and you are using a ethernet crossover cable and a nullmodem cable?
                    Post a screenshot of dboxmanager and the error you are getting

                          Disable any other network cards including wireless try a different ip like 192.168.1.209
                          Press and hold the shift key then press the print screen key now open paint and right click and paste then save it as a jpeg format then attach it to your post you will have to click "go advanced" when replying to get the attachment feature

                                Make sure your networkcard is set to
                                10baseT_halfduplex or 10halfmode
                                Top right(bootfile for dbox)should be pointing to the ppcboot file to get the box to go into a reset loop
                                not the ppcboot_writeflash file
                                Also try unticking rarp server and tick nfs server and point it to c:/dbox
                                power off box click start if it goes to the com window power the box on and it should say reset in the lcd
                                then follow the flash reset and debug procedure.
