You really ought to have a wired connection. What takes 3 minutes is taking you over 2 hours.
Can you run a long Ethernet cable to next door? Can you go to your neighbour and do things there?
Alternatively do you have a spare router? You do not need internet access.

Hi Yes it takes forever but what will be will be..no are out but they are kind enough to share internet till mine is installed
i dont have any router here as box was just connected via wifi
can he use DCC to flash and choose the "direct cross-over" configuration?
or would that complicate things further.. lol
Good thinking. Crossover cable should work.
Alternatively, set p inetrenet connection sharing and he can use a normal network cable. Connect ethernet from PC to DM. PC will become the router and he will be able to get an IP and flash using Internet explorer.

I find it better to use Internet Explorer.
Correct me if I am wrong
You have removed wifi adpter from DM.
You have configured internet connection sharing on your laptop/PC
You have connected ethernet cable between PC and DM
You have restared DM whilst pressing the standby button
You are now in teh stop, DHCP mode
Your DM is showing an IP address on the display
Enter this IP address into internet explorer address bar.

Sorry can't help with your connection issues. I have no experience with Connectify. Here is an ICS guide.

This summary "tutorial" to explain how to fix a DM800 not booting with the code "ERROR01 : NO CA FOUND" on the screen.
Cause of the error:
- bad flash
- official image flashed
-> ERR01 : NO CA FOUND
What doesn't work anymore:
- no boot
- no network connection
- no possible image upgrade
- DreamUp unable to upgrade even with serial cable
Solution:
1) Use DreamUp Patched with serial (null modem) cable
2) Choose COM1, connect, power ON DM800 and wait
3) After a few seconds the DM800 screen will come back with an IP address
4) Type in that address in IE
5) Flash first a BootLoader (sim201_ssl84b.nfi(If this is your bootloader)6) reboot DM800 and hold power button
7) Wait for IP to appear on DM800 screen
8)Type in that address in IE
9) Flash your desired image
I have also attached bootloader 84b to this thred....
Also for image you should try... Dreamelite-BlackHole_PHOENIX_DM800HD-SIM2-SSL84 ..best image ive tried hand's down...
Hope this helps resolve your problem..
(Thank you to the source for the No cA error)

1. switch the box off.
2. Plugin LAN cable AND USB connect to PC.
3. Start dreamup on PC.
4. Tick the 'use network' box in dreamup
5. Set your PC ip address in top left (where it says "local IP(PC)")
6. Set an IP for your dreambox in "Remote IP(box)".
7. Select the COM port which is your newly installed UART bridge COM port (I guess it will be COM15.
8. Click "Connect"
9. It should tell you to switch the DM500-800HD on.
10. Switch on the DM500-800HD and it should download the "flash loader"
11. When it finishes, click on "Flash", select the image you want to download.
12. It should now download the image to the dreambox and start flashing it. Wait for it to finish. Do not switch the dreambox off while it is doing it. It takes a couple of minutes.
13. Switch the box off and then on. It should now boot the new image.
Connect both the LAN and the USB of the dreambox to the PC = 2 cables: 1 x ethernet and 1 x minUSB to USB.
If you plug the dreambox directly to the PC without a router or switch you need a crossover ethernet cable. When using a router or switch you need a 'normal' ethernet cable.
according to the manual at DMM you can flash the DM500-800HD without connecting the LAN (ethernet) and just using the USB , but THIS DOES NOT WORK - flashing fails every time. SO you HAVE to connect both LAN and USB between PC and dreambox and follow the instructions exactly.

He has a DM800 HD, not DM800 HD SE.
