problem with flashFXP

[MetMan]

pacino or something im new to this,but im trying to install commando but cannot get my box to connect to my computer.It says reconnect in 120secs connetion failed[timed out] all the time.
I have been using root as usernam and dbox as the password.

Commando image is username root password commando. and make sure your firewall is off

if not even managed to get connected to use commando yet mate.And firewall is off.

changed it,but still connection failed [timed out] tthen keeps retrying.I just thought the only thing wrong could be in m advanced tabs,as everything seems easy to follow in the guide.

it does nothing mate.Have changed pass to dbox2 now.

so if you're only trying to flash the box with another image why bother with flashfxp???

why not just use IFA??

type the ip address in ie.....should see something like this if connections / cables correct

are you certain you are using a crossover and not an ordinary ethernet cable?

i'm not even sure what the difference is mate.I just thought flash fxp would work for me to transfer all the new info to get my box back up and running.

IFA flashes a new image but you dont need to fanny on with ips on the box as it takes over the boot control of the box and assigns its own ip, but as bigman says are you sure its definately a crossover cable?

[thebigman]

with a crossover cable two of the cables are reversed. If you look here you'll get the idea.

i ordered this crossover cable of ebay.but by the looks of it i have the gigabyte crossover cable.Could that be the problem.Should it only be 2 pairs crossed over instead of all four?
