step by step guide to update your new rom to fix key problam.

[rio_cs]

Hi everyone
Just one suggestion if you are using a cable directly in to the ethernet port on the DBOX from you computer it needs to be crossed. I dont have a crossed cable so I have to use two standard network cables connected to my router.
Hope this helps.

Everyone you need to take notice off the dbox ip settings closly.....

The step by step i done was done with a toth brush making sure it works correctly.........

Make sure there no firewall on, and also make sure you got no other apps running.....

all off you got a cross over cable with your broadband modem use it.............

regards redrrows

ps. you dont use the internet, you use the crossover to the dox, the internet should be disconeccted while ftp to the box.

What is a 550 error mean

Question/Problem: I keep receiving an error message: "550 permission denied or 550 access denied". What does this mean?

Answer/Solution: The 550 error is a message from the server stating that the account you have currently logged in as does not have permission to perform the action you are attempting. You may be trying to upload to the wrong directory or trying to delete a file.

Here is an example of when someone would receive this message:

John logs into ftp.ipswitch.com and goes to the directory /Ipswitch/Product_Downloads
In this directory John sees a list of files for users to download. If John selects a file from his local system and tries to upload it to this directory he will receive the 550 permission denied message because he does not have rights to upload to this directory. John has read and list permissions only. In order to upload John needs write permission. He could contact the system administrator to ask for write permission on the server.

This problem can also be caused by a firewall with a "no ftp write" permission set.


To solve this it easy but only if your getting 505 error, it file permission problam............

Do the following before my tutoral......

1. Press blue button....
2. Select tuxbox commander....
3. On the left hand side select the very first > / < foward slash press ok.
4. Scroll down list to root press ok.
5. Scroll down list highlight keys or key press 1
6. Now set the file permission to read green and write green and execute green save.

that it now you got full permission to ftp in..........

no more 505 error...............

also make sure that root has the correct file permissions...............

All very good the slash you are on about is the root folder, this is Linux and the .. is the parent folder.

@ redarrows

Thanx a lot mate.

Although i fixed my startview a few days a go but i was looking for a dbox solution on the net. My friend gave it to me to find a cure for his dbox. I have been looking for a solution for three days and all of them looked so complicated and incomplete, so i was a bit worried to try any of them in case they fried the dbox. This is the first one i have tried and it worked its wonders. Thanx a lot man.

[redarrows]

@ jadugar your welcome m8 cheers.....

Redarrows, thanks for the step by step guide.

I must be stupid, as i am the only one on here who cannot get the box to work. I am running on vista, i don't suppose that matters?

I have followed every step up to attaching the dbox to my pc. I put the grey ethernet cable from my router into my dbox the other end is attached to my pc.

When i open the browser and try to get the ftp page, I just a page cannot be viewed (like a failed internet page). I even tried clicking start and pasting the ftp into my search box just above the start button, it then opens a blank page (explorer) but does not show any files, so it is obviously not reading the dbox, I seem to be so near yet so far.

Can you help me?
