hi guys sorry to be a pain, i have tried updating to codes on dbox manually but its still saying ERROR channel not available on all channels, so i am trying to flash the dbox i have both ethernet cable & seriel to usb cable, i have changed the ip on tv to 192.168.1.110 , subnet mask 255.255.255o
ive made added the ip 192.168.1.109 - subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) connected ethernet to laptop and tried to connect using
IP 192.168.1.110

Is the cable a crossover cable
If its not it wont connect
If its a straight patch stick it into your router and try again...Paul

hi m8 go back to internet protocol v4 (ipv4) and enter 192.168.1.105, but when entering ip in flash fxp enter 192.168,1,110, that should get u in to the dbox files..

Thanks for getting back to mepaul , i have a ethernet (normal cable) and a RS232 serial to Usb - i use this cable to flash my eurovox box, is this the right one?
thanks debbie

No the normal cable will connect directly from laptop to d box
Link the dbox upto the router with the straight
You should be able to acsess it then wirelessly
Just type dbox ip into web browser and connect
Same for flash FXP......................Paul
