Solved!

I was using Vista. Formatted laptop and installed xp..
Flashed successfully using IFA..

Moral of the story - IFA is not compatible with Windows Vista..

hmmm.. Glad to hear you got yours sorted with a null modem cable..

I think maybe it's not that IFA is incompatible with Vista, but for some reason (and I don't know why) the ARP functionality in IFA that allows an IP to be automatically assigned to the dbox from locating it's MAC address, is not working. That would explain why flashing using a null modem cable works, but not via ethernet..

Does anybody know why this may be so?..
