    Right ! Got a crossover cable but still can't connect to the box. I'm running vista ultimate and using filezilla, can anybody help me to connect please ("We will assume that the dreambox is setup and you are able to connect via FTP/Telnet and can access the web interface.")........Just need some instructions and settings re IP addresses ID's etc......
    Thanks in anticipation

    if your com ip is 192.168.10.2 then your dreambox should be 192.168.10.5 once it not the same as computer but in the same range

    Hi thanks I have flashed the box with the img about 6 times now and nothing, I just thought maybe that was worth a shot. But i'll try to flash again, well im doing it right now and will see what happens. I know Chris's image works as i've fixed my mates box. thanks

    Hi

    I reflashed the image and still no luck, just a blank screen. Can anyone please post a link for gemini image and then I will flash with that image and flash over with the backup image.

    thanks in advance.

    I know the latest image works as Ive fixed another box today, the fault seems to be with my box.

    I must add that i had a bit of trouble got the DK image and managed to get ITV BBC but no other channel - turns out the Evo did not auto update so had to put it on a channel with strong signal - however even that i could not turn on the evocamd so tryed different channels with strong signal. Finally i put it on a shopping channel presses info and it came up with the evocamd - turned on and hey presto all channels up and running within a few moments

    So for those of you out there with no patience - not a good idea, sit tight and try EVERYTHING and eventually you will get it to work if you get no channels except free ones then try all the strong channels until you manage to get the evo up and switch it on.
    For some the evo seems to be auto- maybe its the area your in have no idea. But last time round last year i could not fix my box and chris spoke to a friend via phone and managed to get it sorted.Tokk quite some time but, Think since then he has made the programe simpler for us that aint got a clue so this time round i eventually had a go and managed to to it - took me a few hrs but got there eventually
    PLUS peeps please remember these guys do it for the LOVE and to help everyone out so you MUST show your appreciation to those that have helped you out. Otherwise wed all have to go back to Paying for our provider lol! Then you can moan like hell!

    Thanks for the comments Linny40.

    I have put up everything needed in this section. The reason i have not been present as frequent is due to the fact that i have left it up to all the other members that have learnt over the past few months to sort out the newer guys.

    Most questions asked are here in the forum but the ones that arent i'll be sure to quickfire the answers back.

    Thanks again.

    Chris
