    Are you sure that the box has Neutrino installed or is in debug mode?

    Thanks to Fergalsworld
    You really need to get a nullmodem cable and your worries will go away
    but until you do try this.
    Check you have done all this
    Go to control panel then network connections
    right click on local area connect and pick properties.
    there you will see underneath connect using....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
    Then
    1.Install IFA in to C:/ check that IFA has been Added to the exceptions in windows firewall,then turn the firewall off,
    2.Disable ALL antivirus programs...If you have any Norton crapware disable worm blocking aswell
    you might even have to unistall it this includes systemworks aswell
    there is a removal tool in the downloads to get rid of anything norton leaves behind
    3.Disable any popup stoppers.
    4.Give your pc network card a static ip.
    IE:pC ip:192.168.1.201 (not needed with ifa but set to this anyway)
    subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    5.Disable any other network cards you have installed including wireless
    6.Disable ics (internet card sharing if available)
    7.Ethernet crossover cable connected
    8.Nullmodem cable connected if you have one
    9.Turn off box,
    10.Put Image in C:/ and rename it to mtd3.img
    11.Start IFA
    12.Select networkcard
    13.Tick nullmodem if you have one
    14.Select image in C:/
    15.Press ok, if it goes to a comm window turn on the box.
    16.If you dont get flashing in the lcd on the box try holding the power and up button in till the lcd goes blank
    then let go wait about 10 seconds
    keep trying a few times.

    Nullmodem cable required to do the following.
    hold power and up button in till lcd goes blank then let go of power button then up button 2 seconds later
    it will go through 3 tests in com window then stop at
    dbox ppcboot> type in "boot net" then press enter
    if it does not start to flash
    then something is still blocking the network.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi thanks for your response.
    If a null cable is like a smaller version of a printer cable that you have to screw in to the dbox and the back of the computer then I have one.Have done several flashes but after it has finished it says press enter to activate.When I press enter the words on the small screen says kein system and doesn't work.Any Ideas?

    That means there is no operating system on the box which should be very easy to fix with IFA.
    This is a null modem cable:
    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=97740&criteria=null modem&doy=19m1

    Does IFA display any messages while it's flashing?

    It should tell you it's erasing image and writing, then verifying. Have you tried a new image? Is it a 1X or 2X image, what box do you have?

    If you are getting that far thrn I don't know what else to suggest. If you followed my advice in this and your other post then I cannot understand why it won't work unless you are trying to flash a 1X image to your 2X box.
