Took a long time but I finally did it. Used the null modem cable only because the IP range at work is different to that at home and it would have taken me as long to change the IP on the DM600 as it did to flash over null modem. In the end it took 25 minutes to re-flash the latest Gemini...

Will do. :)

Well, rather than spend three days looking for my null modem cable I ordered a new one. I'll do the reflash when it turns up... :)

OK, thanks very much. I'll do that, then. :)

OK, then, I'll go through what I think you mean. Take to work, connect to power and to PC via null modem cable. Open up Dreamup, follow instructions to flash with new image. Find image. Flash. It's the reboot after flashing I have guidance with because the DM600 will not be connected to a...

What, even if it won't boot? I have the image, the Dreamup, a null modem cable (somewhere or other). And remember I have no possibility to monitor the thing while I am at work. You reckon reflashing under these circumstances will work?

OK, I can take it to work. But then what?

I wasn't xxxing out the IP address. I was using xxx for "whatever". However, since I now have a brand new DM600 that won't boot and that I can't connect to in DCC, does anybody have any suggestions to to what to do next?

Well, I do have a PC at work with a serial port. I could use that. Trouble is that I have no way of monitoring the 600 at work - no TV. I have an IBM X41 that has a serial port on the expansion base but every time I plug it into the base the pointing device stops working. 'O'-red

Well, I got as far as the telnet reboot. Telnet says: *** Server has closed *** DM600 sits there red light flashing and then green light flashing, no other signs of lfe. I've unplugged it. Great start.

Yes, thanks. I have one too. It didn't work.

When you say that you had changed the IP of the DB to your own network IP, do you mean that you had changed 192.168.0.x to 192.168.x.x? My 600 is already on a 192.168.0.xxx IP, and I really can't see how changing this to 192.168.0.5 (or whatever if I could remember it) would make any difference...

Yes, I have used webif to flash a 7025, but that had the buttons on the front which corresponded with the instructions for the webif flash update. The 600 doesn't have the buttons and it doesn't have the VFD to receive the response from the box. I'm brave, but I'm not that brave.

Excellent, thanks very much. I'll try that and see what happens. :)
