cableferret won't unpack

[davmac]

hi back again, i am trying to flash a new image to my dbox2 i have got as far as starting up the flash assistant but i am getting the error message could'nt connect to dbox (timeout...?) any ideas
thanks.

select the image, select the network card, press ok, and press ok to the next screen...

then you need to plug in the dbox (or press the up arrow and power button to reboot it)
then when the dbox powers up it will begin the flashing process.

once it's finished and the bar has gone across (about 5 mins) exit the software and then reboot the dbox again.

try all that, and if your having issues still it might be worth getting a null modem cable and trying again with that attached. but personally i've never needed to do it that way.
