    Check you have done all this
    Go to control panel then network connections
    right click on local area connection (the one you are using to cnnect to the dbox) and pick properties.
    there you will see underneath connect your network card, next to this will be a configure tab click on it.
    then click on the advanced tab
    you need to look for flow control, duplex, media type or connection type
    drop the value tab arrow down and set to 10baseT_halfduplex or try automatic or autosense.
    Give your pc network card a static ip. (same IP range as the dbox, e.g. if dbox is 192.168.1.202 then PC 192.168.1.204) with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Disable any other network cards you have installed including wireless
    Disable ics (internet card sharing if available).
    from dos command test connection with "ping" command i.e. type "ping 192.168.1.202 (whatever is dbox IP address)
    also check the your dBox does not have a DNS declared or vice versa..

    Ok, the network settings on your PC & DBox are not right. Try this.

    PC:
    IP 192.168.1.1
    SUBNET 255.255.255.0
    GATEWAY 0.0.0.0
    BROADCAST 0.0.0.0


    Dbox:
    IP 192.168.1.2
    SUBNET 255.255.255.0
    GATEWAY 0.0.0.0
    BROADCAST 0.0.0.0

    Disable any other adapters on your PC and you will be able to FTP the DBox.

    Did you restart the network on the DBox?

    All I can suggest is that you have a corrupted image that has gone read only. You would have to flash a new image to the DBox.

    Use IFA and a crossover cable & null modem cable, IFA will retrieve the settings from the DBox and use them to flash the box.
