Ok maybe its not the right cable, would i get that message before its connected to the box.
if I bye a new cable should i then get a nullmodem with one side USB. Is that possible?
Thank you for your help and patience.
Do you have a PC or laptop with a rs232/serial port ? If you do buy a null modem cable for that not a usb adapter.
If not you could by a pcmcia serial port card or if you have PC then a PCI serial port card.
But can we take this back to browser flashing for now ?
Are you browser flashing with a crossover cable from PC/Laptop to the 8000 of from router to 8000 ?
Try a again with browser flash and take some picture after you have selected the 8000 84 bootloader and post them here so i can see the problem.
