you dont need a null modem to flash a box using IFA.

all a null modem does when using IFA with a crossover is tell you in the com window what is happening, however i do recommend using one so you know how far it is in, but not essiential

You are right you can flash a box using a crossover cable only
however a nullmodem cable is not just used to see whats going on
when using a crossover cable IFA sends out only 1 request to the network
when using a crossover with a nullmodem cable IFA sends out 10 requests to the network which is why it usually starts flashing straight away

dont plug in the power until it tells you ,leave it off,once your into ifa just follow it it will tell you when to plug in power cable

I'm getting a bad ping from the box...the trouble is the box drops into standbye and I loose the network connection...I will get a null modem cable from Maplin in the morning and try again..thanks to all for helping me, I'll let you know how I get on

By the Sounds of it
When you get your null mowdem
Run Bootmanager as well
Somnething aint right if it keeps rebooting
Post the Bootlog ........Paul
