IP in TCP/IP is totaly defferent from the one in flashfxp M8 have you done that?

if the box is for example 192.168.0.24 set this in flash fxp then in connections set it to 192.168.0.25 then if user and pw are correct it should connect

Oh Sorry silly me I didn't know that you dont have a crossover lead M8

check the leads that you have & Read the small writing on them should say:

"YFC UTP CAT .5E PATCH ISO/IEC 11801"

Heres an image of the ends of a crossover cable, as you can see they are slightly different wiring colours, solid green/orange are swapped over and stripped green/orange are swapped over. A straight through cable will have both ends exactly the same.

Password is generally dbox2 but if it is a commando image, then the password is commando.

Yeah its defo a straight through cable i have.

I have a laky pro image at the moment, so need to update.

Thanks you have been a great help. I will try again when i get new cable.....
