    Default dm800clone oh dear

    trying to add a line for friend .he had gemini pre installed. using dhcp.

    decided to reflash wit nemesis 2.3 also tried pli . for sim 2.01 ssl 82. ( bearing in mind i have a sim 1 with ferrari sim upgrade working fine )

    now BIG problem .. like the old dm 500s a fault where the network interface is not connecting to the box and net .

    peeing me off this thing is quite new.

    it will not accept a nameserver ( static ip for the box) all settings are fine .

    if i cant get this to work i will never get a clone again and will tell people to not either ..

    now i have to tell the lad hope its in warrenty .
    trust me to get this crap with fault . he not going to be happy


    anyone else had this prob many thanks

    Nothing whatsoever to do with it being a clone mate. If it boots select dhcp in network menu an connect Ethernet cable from router . You shouldn't need to enter any other settings when dhcp is selected

    done it m8 to no prevail ..

    had this prob with dm 500 clones ..then switched to tm 500 and never ever had a prob with network interface .

    im on my last try ..this morning wasted to much time.

    just seems orig boxes never get this fault.

    even if i turn off dhcp say then give static ip ..then try the network flash way ..still stays on dhcp on the front of the reciever ..when it should say the ip i gave it ..

    just does what it wants i think m8 ..

    When you boot the box for an Ethernet flash, it gets a DHCP offer from your Router, it does NOT take any notice of what you set in the image settings as the image is not running, box is only running the Bootloader at that time.

    As you have loaded the wrong Bootloader for your SIM, that is the problem, not the box. SIM2 images do not work with SIM1 or Ferrari SIM's. You may be able to fix it with Optiflasher and do the Ferrari fix
