If he were not a wizard, from head down to the root, you would have got to worry-your DB only boots

Have you disconnected the power supply for 60 seconds and tried again?

Have you recently flashed it? Can you connect to it using Telent or FTP?

Did you use a null modem cable to flash it? As it's unusable I suggest reflashing it using a null modem cable and making sure you have the correct version of the flashing software (whose name I've forgotten).

How did you get to the state your dreambox is currently?

If you haven't already - please read the Idiot's Guide.
