Hi,

Recently I notice that my LAN connection to my Clone DM500S has been working intermitantly. I noticed the green lights in the box (the ones on the circuit board) were not always alight. So i decided to re flash my box incase there was a software problem. Now the box is reflashed and the LAN issue is still there and because of this i can not now transfer my Satellite.xml or my channel lists back on the the box using the usual DCC program. Is there a way that i can transfer these files by using the serial cable connection?

Thanx & Regards

Unless you can install a PPP protocol on the Dreambox you can't use a serial cable to do anything other than flash the Dreambox.

Have you tried another CAT5 cable? Or a crossover cable and connect the Dreambox directly to your PC?
