![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: How do you flash a dreambox 500c without a com port on your pc Use another PC ! Failing that, you need to get a serial port of one form or another. The best would be a real serial port. If your PC is a desktop then buy a standard PCI serial card. If its a laptop then a pcmcia/pccard type serial port would do the job (assuming you have a pcmcia/pccard type port). Failing everything else, a USB serial port could be tried. I'd leave that till the last option though due to the very variable results from these devices. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: How do you flash a dreambox 500c without a com port on your pc You can use DCC (2.96 here) to flash via network cable. I rarely use flashing via network/ftp, as most of the time i will have to re-falsh with a serial cable anyway! worth a try though... if that dont work get a nul modem cable, or as recommended above a usb -> serial if you dont have a com port |
