i am currently trying to sort out major problems with my Dbox.. I cant seem to network my laptop with the box, all network menu's on the dbox are turned on....i am using vista, i have all firewalls off etc and it still wont network. I have tried to flash the dbox with image flash assistant using usb to serial connection but i end up with a repetative message and no data transfer....all file names are short and are from c: as mentioned on other threads..For some reason the sportster menu has dissapeared (when blue button pressed twice in succesion) I am currently recieving only a few of free channels... if i cant get this to work is there any1 near the burnley area willing to take the dbox, fix it and send it ack re flashed and fully working for ntl...if so how much are you going to charge for such a service?
Can you ftp to the box and just drop some Burnly Services in the Zapit folder
Straightforward enough
Wot image is on the box now
Are you getting all the free channels
Do you have epg for the ones you arnt getting ........Paul

i have just tried to network using flash fxp but even with the new network settings my laptop will not network with the dbox..do you think it could be an issue with vista? i have turned off all firewalls etc but still cant connect....
just had a quick thaught could it be that by some strange reason the password for network on my dbox is by some reason not dbox2? is there a way to check the password on the dbox?
Thanks for the fast replys all...i have been at work loads (sound and lighting engineer) not had a chance yet to try to sort problem...I have looked at the link about media sensing...I use vista and the article lists windows versions the article relates to but doesnt have vista listed, does the registry fundamentaly the same between xp and vista?
