Find out what your pc IP is, and go into network settings on your dbox , and tick to use network, and change the IP to 1 above your PC`s one, thats 1 above the last digits.

you will then be able to comunicate to your box, as long as you have got the username and password, which are posted in this thread.

Network as got to be one below or 1 above
You need 192.168.2.7
In one of them
Dont matter which one ...Tyr that .....Paul

You have to put the ip of the dbox in smart ftp m8 not the ip of the pc.

[plasterer]

you need to Transfer it to the tmp folder mate
Then upload on remote


FTP .img file to the /tmp folder on the box.

Using remote...

DBOX
SERVICE MENU
SOFTWARE UPDATE
EXPERT FUNCTIONS
WRITE ONE PARTITION
FLASH WITHOUT BOOTLOADER

Select the image from the list and select yes

The box will be flash then rebooted.
