    No need of null cable you can use a cross over cable.
    before you do that did you try updating the emu settings try that first before you re image the box.

    You need a network crossover cable for the DBox. The null modem cable is only used by the DBox to display the flash status in IFA. Most motherboards have a network adapter on them or a network card installed, how do you connect to the internet? If not by a usb modem or dialup then plug it into the socket your broadband is pluged into.

    You only need it pluged into the PC while flashing. The flash file will be on your PC so you don't need to be connected to the internet while doing it.
