dbox2 IP Adress?

[Solo761]

How do I find on which IP adress is dbox? I have Philips dbox from Premiere, I found all software tools for flash to linux but I don't know which IP adress it uses.

thank you

The Box doesn't have an built in address, it uses RARP/DHCP to get an address from any server (for example Dbox Bootmanager).

Did you really understand how to get your box ready for another operating system? Only with Linux you have an IP-adress for your box...

Now it's starting to make sense , Dbox bootmanager allways said that if failed to ping dbox, rarp was off.

I got it to debug mode, but in Dbox bootmanager flash options are grayed I thought that's because IP adress is wrong. I "slowed" my network card to 10mbit half duplex, If it still fails I'll plug my old 10mbit network card and I'll see if it works then.

Trouble is that 80% of howto's on the web are in german, and while I understand german, my english is better.

thanks

Just klick on "Stop" on the main-tab and enjoy the reenabled options

Damn integrated NIC, I tried with my old 10mbit NIC and windows said that there aren't enough resources for this device to work, then I tried with newer realtek 10/100mbit card and same thing happened. It seems that nforce chipset doesn't like NIC competition.

When I tried on my laptop I get that "boot net failed" message and If I try to use flash option I get "Error 10048 in function Bind Address already in use" error.

I Think I'm gonna throw it to trash, I have no use for it with original software. I wanted to try this because I have 3 LNBs and this software supports only 2 so with original software none works...


thanks anyway

Have a look at http://www.dietmar-h.net/flashprob_eng.html
Or in general: look at http://www.dietmar-h.net
There is english documentation.

I can't believe it , that helped, it's flashed, now all I need to do is figure how to set it up, but that's easier part. The hardest part is , woohoo . I can't thank you enough.
