You need to make sure that you have a 'null modem' cable and not a standard serial cable!!

1. Get the most current 'Flashing assistant' from http://www.dboxservice-hallenberg.de/freedownloads.php

2. Dbox2 works on 10/half, so set your PC Network card to 10/half or AUTO (preferred).

3. Set a Static IP to the PC network card - NOTE: You can't ping the dbox cos it has no IP and it'll be switched off !!

4. Make sure you have the correct image - eg 1 chip or 2.

5. Use a Crossover lead (Direct connection to Dbox) and Null modem lead (preferred, as you can view the the console in Windows).

6. STOP/DISABLE all firewalls !!!!!!!

7. Start the application, point it to the image and follow the instructions.

Now there should be no reason why it won't work....
