Hi M8's

Compliments of the season to one and all.

Hope someone can guide me please.
My Skybox F5 decided to freeze after 10 secs or so and reading various forums it was suggested that using a LAN tool the files should be deleted empty ones installed with new firm ware and channels.

I am attempting to connect my skybox to my PC using a 'A' to 'A' USB cable but it reports unable to connect to box. It automatically picks up the IP for the box and I have tried passwords 0000 and 3327 to no avail. The USB cable appears to be OK as the box powers up on the cable without the power lead when connected direct to the PC.

Can anyone explain in simple steps what I am doing wrong so that I can connect the box to the LAN tool and my PC and try to rescue my Skybox from freezing out and being useless.

Any help greatly appreciated.

cheers
