[QUOTE="orzem, post: 99188, member: 190810"] Hi zanders, In PC to PC connections, ping works both ways, no drop out. I also tried flood ping (packets get sent a hundred times per second or faster) and it works. (So it should not be the cable). Ping from Debian Linux to dreambox goes with a 2% dropout (but only if I let it go for a good while) Flood ping though gets stuck almost immediately. In my opinion, small packets get through, big or fast ones don't, making any communication with the dreambox virtually impossible. But I can't figure out why or how to solve the problem, other than try and flash. As far as I know flashing is done with a Null modem cable with DreamUP or FlashWizard. BUT, my XP noebook doesn't have a serial port, so I have to do without DreamUP, using my Debian PC. I'd like to dump an image to /tmp on the dreambox with minicom, but I need info on configuration in order to establish the connection. Once the image is there, I could do a manual update. I have tried serial port connection from a different XP PC, but DreamUP doesn't show any sign of life after clicking on the connect button. I even tried to kill some processes as soon as I log into a telnet session, then logout and start ftp, but file transfer gets stuck fast just the same. That's why I'm pretty much hopeless and in bad need of a strike of genius. Thanks, orzem [/QUOTE]
