Hi guys im trying to flash a ambit 255 to hax rev 39

im using solar winds for my tftp server and have the haxorware bin file in the correct folder tftp root folder on c drive.

and i keep getting these errors.

make sure your tftp (solar winds) is not showing 127.0.0.1. needs to be 192.168.100.10 if that was the ip you set. ipconfig /renew
