Load Gemimi 4.0 to dm500s via LAN cable
permalink
Hi All
Just joined.
Am trying to load Gemimi 4.0 to dm500s via LAN cable.
I am connected to the net.
Using Windows Vista, it sees my dm500 as a media centre and I am unable to view it as a computer?
Unable to upload image.
Please - anyone help a newbie?

Are you connected via a router, or direct to the PC with a crossover cable?

What software are you using to try and load the image?

Have you tried it with a null modem cable as well?

Have both a LAN and Null (COM1) connected.
Using dreamup.
I managed to find the correct Gemini 4 file type (Img) and loaded last night.
Now I only have sat's for Europe and have lost Asian sat's!!!
Now what?
The two main sat's are Agila Ku and Thaicom 2-5 Ku
Have been on a Aussie site and found I must load an XML sat file but am not able to see the root on the DM500s to place it in the TMP folder?
The questions will reduce as I climb the learning curve - I hope!!
Any comments will be helpfull

Flash the image with a Null Modem Cable only using DreamUp utility.
It takes only 9 minutes instead of wasting hours trying to figure out how to flash using the LAN cable.
When you say "loaded last night", does this mean you managed to flash it with Gemini 4.0 or not yet ?

Please give us more details about your setup. Preferably by updating your profile to include the 500:

Dish size
Fixed or motorized
Pointng to which satellite/s
DISEQ, if used

When you scan, you need to select the satellite that you are interested in, instead of the default Astra 19.2 ?

How are you trying to "see" the root folder?

I use old fashioned FTP but some people like DCC. Get a copy of Filezilla (it's free) setup a connection to your Dreambox (this assumes you have a PC and the Dreambox on the same network) and then FTP the files from your PC to the Dreambox.

I'm sure there's an FTP how-to in The Guide.

Which version of Gemini did you have when you tried to upgrade to Gemini 4.0 ?

Check this new thread.

Perhaps with your present image you can install directly from the box.

Dear all
Many thanks for your help so far.
Dish is move 7.5 Feet with Uni LNB
I am trying to find Dream tv on Agila Ku at 146'' E
Had expert help with Thaicom 78.5 E on Sat last, they then setup for CS - all new to me.
Think if able to load Agila and Thaicom then I will be happy.
Can I add Agila and if so does anyone know the LNB settings?

Few members have already tried to help.
There are also International language forums in this website.
Perhaps the thread should have been connected in the first place to one of the Indian and Region options and if this doesn't include Thailand then perhaps a new country specific option can be added.

Once again, thanks to all for your help.
Reason I came here for help, is I am an ex-pat.
Numerous others living in Thailand and all hungry for Sat tv.
Any help will be posted on Thai Visa (Ex-pat site in Thailand).
As ex-pats we are mostly geriatric and so really need your help.
Thanx once again
