I am new to the DBOX and dont really know much about it. I just read the user guide (below) on this website in one of the threads.

It says that you require a network card. Im just wondering do you need a network card in your PC. Is it possible for me to connect my PC to the DBOX using a USB wire instead of using the network card.

I would appreciate help with this.

Thanks

THE BEGINNERS GUIDE - HOW TO FTP AN IMAGE v1.0 (Sept 2005)


What?s required - HARDWARE:

1. DBox2 in DEBUG MODE with Linux Neutrino already installed
2. RJ45 Network Crossover cable.
3. PC (this was done using windows XP) with a network card.


What?s Required ? SOFTWARE:

FTP program eg. ?Flash FXP? (30-day trial version works fine).
?Image? file (eg. boxcracker, sportster, zorge, etc) (make sure to use the correct 1x or 2x Image) (see notes 2)
?Bouquets? and ?Services? files for your area


Let?s Get Started:

To make this easier, place your tv/box close to your PC
(so that you have easy access to the back of both, to change cables around.)


1. PC Setup: Now would be a good time to create a ?System Restore Point? on your PC,
(as you will have probably have to change the IP settings, to something different from your internet settings).

a USB cable is not a network card - a USB cable is just a method of data transfer - where as a NIC take network trffic processed it and throws it back to the computer and also send traffic out to the network wire (does all the collison detection, jabber control and carrier sense stuff) the chips on the network card do this job.
