Hi,
I'm slightly confused so please bear with me. As far as I understand the rs-232 connection on the back of the db is male as is the com port on my computer. I have a null modem wire, 9 -9 pin female to female so am i right to assume I don't require an adaptor? The problem is when i click on connect using dreamup the status says ' connection prepared -now switch on the dreambox-. Do you see a blue bar instantly or how long do you have to wait, because i'm not sure. I know i select the right com port and It is a null modem cable because I used it to upload firmware on my old strong box with an adaptor attached. Hope you guys can help me
