bit far for me to try then.....

if u have a null modem the u could try hyperterminal method or try this.....rodboys method

Turn off windows firewall
Disable wireless network connection

Rename image file mtd3.img and store it in C:\

set Local Area Connection network IP to 192.168.0.201
( IFA automatically sets dbox IP to 192.168.0.202 )
configure Local Area Connection link speed / duplex mode to 10Mbps / half duplex

open IFA
select image for flashing ( mtd3.img from C:\ )
select network device ( there should only be one available )
switch dbox on
press start
a dialogue box pops up
switch dbox off
click ok
switch box on
flashing should begin
progress is indicated on LCD ( IFA image on TV screen )
Fertig and smiley faces on LCD means success
disconnect network
off then on at the mains

The flash process takes three or four minutes.

Note that it might not kick in first time, but this method will flash your box and / or recover from a kein system / loading kernal error.

Thanks for this guide, I have given it a try, I can't get it to work but it has gotten me further than what I had been doing previously.

Could you assist me a bit further here as I don't think that I am to far away from sorting this out.

I am unsure if I have a straight through or crossover cable.

But when I run IFA it shows up on the box lcd and also my tv so I take it it is the right cable but the box just hangs with the message on the box lcd saying dbox2 flashing assistent but this never changes to indicate any progress. I have left this for 15 minutes but no change.

When looking at the boot manager screen during the flash process i have this message

but at the bottom of boot manager it says Pinging dbox 2 failed.

Also I am unsure if the sagem is a 1 or 2 image, would the flash still complete it I am using the wrong image?

Thanks very much
