    Hi
    You don't need to have network ticked if you are using the Null modem cable method to flash. ie you don't need to be connected to a network.
    Make sure you have latest version of Dreamup, start with power OFF to the box then follow Dreamups instructions, make sure you are using a proper 'Null modem Cable' NOT a Serial Cable also make sure you are selecting the correct Com port and its available in Device manager.
    BTW if you are using a USB to Com port converter I would give up now and goto a PC with a 9 pin com port.
