Hey lads trying to flash a nokia dbox2 at the mo using ifa.i have a laptop with windows vista and have flashed the box i have now before with just the crossover cable.problem is i can't remember exactly how i did it!! i remember having problems before alrite but think there's something minor that i'm doing wrong.all of the guides are based on windows xp so its hard to follow step by step.its annoying as i have flashed this very box before! i've been using 2 sets of ip & gateway settings.when i hit start on the ifa & plug the box in it just boots up as normal & the ifa says 'waiting for dbox to start'.any help would be much appreciated.

Are you using a null modem and cross over cable?
Disable your wireless network, give your laptop a static ip address

PLEASE DONT PM ME FOR KEYS!

Using the latest version of IFA I've flashed a few of those boxes, but i've always had both cables plugged in(null modem and crossover) and my wireless disabled.
I've never had any problems with Vista(possibly disable UAC)

It does sometimes work with just the crossover, done it myself many times with the older builds of IFA back in the day.
Good your sorted anyway.
Enjoy it while it lasts
