    appologies before i ask.

    ive been entering the new keys onto my dbox using the remote control through tuxbox commander.

    i have no idea at all on how to set up the link between my dbox and my computer or how to put the new "fix" file onto the box.

    could some 1 please go through step by step how to set up the link and what i need to do this. ive head the terms "FTP" and "flashfxp" mentioned but have no idea what they mean.

    so if some 1 could take a few minutes to help i would be very greatful.

    thanks
    PETER

    download flash fxp. get an ethernet (lan) cable.

    plug it in to your computer and box.

    go to dbox then network on your box remote.

    go to flash fxp on your computer and pick file then quick connect.

    type your ip address from the box and put user name as root and password as dbox2 and connect. if it doesnt connect change your box ip and dns the same and then pick start\restart network on the box.

    once connected go to var\keys and put the file in and overwrite.

    wait a few seconds and your box will come back on.

    if you need any more help just ask.

    no you cant, as you only need to use a null modem cable if you get the Keine System and need to flash a new image

    do you have a wireless router at home, if you do then you have 50% of the equipment all you need is a ethernet cable and the rest isnt too difficult.
