[QUOTE="astral69, post: 668251, member: 304406"] Using a null modem cable I was able to flash the latest Pli image and the LAN connection is working again. Two comments: 1. The DB manual and the DreamUp seem to say that a LAN and RS232 connection are needed. This is not true, and should be made clearer. The RS232 connection alone is fine. The flash took 37 minutes plus a few extra to then load the image. 2. RS232 is a very old fashioned type of connection. No notebooks sold to today support it! I was lucky to have a USB to RS232 cable, with the software to drive it. I use it for my weather station. Otherwise you will need to spend around $30 to buy one The NULL cable was only $2. [/QUOTE]
