    Hi all.

    I'm probably just being a dweeb but I'm hunting and hunting for a step-by-step guide to setting up my Nokia DBox. Just bought one off fleabay that runs Linus Neutrino but it came without any instructions. Any help please would be very much appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Search this forum, there's loads. to start with, get the DBox bible called the "dbox 2 FAQ by pt.1"

    Sounds like the memory in the box is full from failed recordings or something,reflash is your only option AFAIK

    Hope someone can help.

    My DBox2 has stopped receiving channels. I still receive internet over the same cable so its not the cable. Has Virgin done something to the signal?

    It wont let me scan for channels and I have tried 5 different images and 4 different service files/bouquets that used to work and none work at all. I have also tried versions of the magic keys and nowt!!!

    Im wondering if my box is faulty now?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I tried putting a new image on my dbox and I got the "loading kernal" message and it wouldnt boot up.

    Could someone help please, as I`m getting really frustrated now. Ive tried all the tutorials and its just not doing the "flashing" message on the LCD.

    I have got IFA to connect to my DBox for sure via crossover cable(dont have a null), because its got the IFA logo on the tele and a IFA Creators logo on the LCD, but on IFA it looks as if its working as it says "DBox Pinging ok" and it looks like its transferring data but then it says

    ***Adapter Desc: Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller - Packet Scheduler Miniport (via IpHlpApi #0)
    ***MAC address: 00:15:F2:43:04:CE Local IP: 192.168.0.101

    0 - nfsd: NFS_READ: cannot send reply
    0 - nfsd: NFS_READ: cannot send reply

    and eventually it all stops and doesnt do anything. The If I restart the Dbox it says either "loading Kernel" or "Kein System".

    Ive tried 3 different images and non of them are working.

    This is my step by step of what Ive done :

    Contol Panel - Network Connections - Properties

    I then changed my Network card Speed & Duplex to 10Mbps Half Duplex

    then i changed my internet protocol settings to :

    192.168.0.101 into the "IP address"
    255.255.255.0 into the "Subnet mask"
    192.168.0.1 into the "Default gateway"

    then ive clicked Ok and came out.

    Now with my Dbox unplugged, I open IFA 3.2.0.354

    I choose the image I want and select my network card.

    and then press start, it comes up with a information telling me that the pc is getting ready and to press ok and tuen my dbox on.

    I press ok and power up the dbox but the dbox goes to "kein system" and IFA doesnt start, the stop button is greyed out and the start button is ready to click. So I unplugged the Dbox and pressed start then plugged the dbox in.

    This is when i thought I`d cracked it, as IFA started moving and a IFA logo came onto the LCD, but as I said above it just stops and says that log.

    really getting desperate now, been at it all last night and all today.

    Cheers
