Don't worry about Vista...works the same m8.

comando is the password.

You should refresh yourself with Flashfxp, its in downloads and there is also a full guide to flashfxp there aswell.

You need to connect to var/keys and copy that whole keys folder to your pc.

You may also want to save you services and bouquets files, they are in /var/tuxbox/config/zapit. I usually just copy the whole Zapit folder to my pc.

TBH with you, if you use Andromedia V2 which is an excellent image, you will not need the keys as they are already in it.

Download the image and extract it and ftp in to tmp folder in root directory, then go to remote and go to:

dbox/service/update image or expert (whichever commando uses)
then go to flash one partition/flash without bootloader then chose image and o.k it.

Let it flash and then ftp your services and bouquest back on. Dont forget the network ip addy will probably be different so you wll have to change that when new image is on or change flashfxp to suit new ip addy.

For Vista, the lan properties are IV4 in the list m8 and not IV6, if that makes sense.

Go to Control panel > Network Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections
protocol version 6 & 4
disable IPV6 and enable ipv4 and also make sure that IPV4 has been given an inbuilt IP address one below the boxes ip.
