    Trying to FTP Services xml files from lap-top to D Box. Using FTP Core Programme and a crossover cable between lap-top and D Box. Have static IP Addresses set as follows : PC 192.168.0.2 with submask 255.255.255.0.
    D Box 192.168.0.4 with same submask as above and broadcast 192.168.0.255. I have also imputted Default Gateway and DNS Server address to 192.168.1.1. Do I put same default & DNS address on PC. When i try and connect through FTP software it advises that it cannot establish a connection. Do I have to adjust any mode on D Box to allow a connection be established with PC. Also can anybody advise whether I need to have an internet connection while FTP'ing. Anybody else out there able to offer any help or advice.

    No, you seem to be set up correctly, but what image do you have installed? And what is the username and p/w you are trying?

    your dns and gateway are on a different subnet to your ip address - also no need for default gateway or dns erver on either pc or dbox

    If your pc is 192.168.0.2 then change your dbox to 192.168.0.1,

    Hope that helps buddy

    Just to make sure everything is ok, try these:

    dbox:
    --Make sure DHCP is off
    IP: 192.168.1.10
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    Broadcast: 192.168.1.255
    Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (Shouldn't need)
    DNS: Leave blank (Shouldn't need)
    --Restart the network connections

    PC:
    IP: 192.168.1.11
    See above for rest...

    From your PC ping the dbox from the command line (ping 192.168.1.10) and make sure that your PC can see the dbox on the network.

    Yes you can - off the top of my head - you press dbox | settings | network and you can input everything from there

    Well, see above from a network settings perspective.

    You can connect directly using either a null-modem cable or cross-over cable, or, you can connect via a router using a standard patch cable. If you're flashing from scratch using IFA think null-modem or cross-over, from an ongoing perspective hook it up to your router...
