What ftp software are you using try flashfxp there is a guide in the downloads

Have you set up your pc ip address?
Just say your box ip is 192.168.111.023 (subnet- 255.255.255.0)
Then set your pc ip to 192.168.111.022 (subnet- 255.255.255.0)
Then set flp to 192.168.111.023 (subnet- 255.255.255.0)
User name-root
Password-dbox (If useing commando image then type commando as password)

in windows

click on the start button

click run

type cmd

click ok

you will get a dos window (a black box )

type

ipconfig

you will get a response simillar to the following

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : home.local
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.102
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

the bit your interested in is the "IP Address"

the example above shows "IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.102"

that is the ip address assigned to the pc I issued the command on

now goto your dbox network settings and enter a similar "IP Address"

I would use for example 192.168.1.103

then

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

need to be eaxctly the same as your pc's

you will now be able to communticate to your dbox

these settings are mine , yours may differ
