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.

Although network is good for ftp/telnet and general playing around i've never found it that very reliable for flashing images etc. Always seems to crash my box for some reason.

Telnet is the only way I flash these days, but it's useless if the box has crashed, in that case then a serial cable is the only solution.

Get a USB to Serial cable - you can then use it from a laptop, if you need to

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
