I wan't to flash my dboox 2 from my computer. I don't have a network. I just want to connect the box to my PC. What kind of lead do I need and where can I get one?

You need a crossover ethernet cable, you can get them from Maplin, PC World or for a few quid on ebay.

So you need an ethernet connection on your PC aswell. Ideal if you use USB for your internet modem but a wee bit of configuring to do if you use ethernet for your internet and you only have one ethernet connection.

You might as well get a Null Modem cable as well (from the same places Devilfish has mentioned) just in case things go tits up.
