why do you need to open files the nfi is the image you use dreamup to flash image to your dreambox.

You can use ethernet cable and telnet;

Slightly different to other dreamboxes. You can either use the Dreamup software (takes ages) or use the method below instead.

1. Boot the box, goto the communication menu and note the ip address.

2. Run DCC, connect to the dreambox. Once the network is connected ok, click on the the 'Telnet' option.

3. In the telnet window, type the following, pressing <return> at the end of each line.

mount /boot -o remount,rw
rm /boot/*
reboot

4. You should now get a message saying that the Dreambox is rebooting.

5. Wait a few seconds and then run Explorer (Firefox or whatever) and enter the ip address of the Dreambox in the address bar.

6. On the screen that appears, choose the 'Upgrade firmware' option, find the .nfi file and click the 'Flash' button.

7. Once the progress bar reaches 100%, reboot the box

Done

crap

Hi,

Everything went ok until point 5. I can not reach the dreambox anymore on its IP address and when I ping it it is also timed out. On the dreambox itself I see "Dream Multimedia 192.1x8.x.x/flash/zImage.elf"

Can anybody help me to figure out what to do now?

Thanks
