    Thumbs down My Dbox 'may' be dying as I post this

    Them newbies dont have a clue!!! (I being a newbie)
    Since I dont have enough posts to download any images from here I downloaded 200503162121_neutrino_yadi_squashfs_head_2x.img from Yadi.org.
    Anyway I tried flashing the box with the menu by FTPing the image into the tmp which at first looked like it worked but when it rebooted it loaded the same version.
    Now I have tried to use Image Flashing Assistant and Sportsters1.75(2x).img.
    Again this looked like it was going to work and now has been sat at 1.9meg uploaded and hung, more or less. It has been going up by a couple of k's every 5 minutes or so.
    Should I unplug? Leave it?
    Any advise would be great

    Have a read at PT-1s helpfile at the flashing section. You may have got some of the steps mixed up.

    Thanks, downloading.

    Its still going. its been about 30 minutes now and its uploaded about 2meg. Ive still got the TV output saying DBOX2 Flashingassistent is working on your dbox. I can just about make out the progress bar on the LCD(Loads of stripes) and it is about 1/4 of the way.

    anyway I will have a read. Thanks again

    Looks like you have not set your networkcard to 10baseT_halfduplex.
    wait till it finishes.

    Your right, I didn't. For some stupid reason I read that it needs to be 10 Half but I still set it 10 Full. ???

    Can I quit now or will it kill the box?

    should be ok to stop it but the only way you will be able to flash it after is with IFA.

    Set to half duplex should take about 10 to 15 mins.

    Re: My Dbox 'may' be dying as I post this

    I've just tried the commando 5 image with IFA and it seemed to upload a lot quicker with my nic set to 10 half. Two progress bars come up on the LCD and quicky filled. Then something else came up and stayed up, I cant make it out though due to the stripes Hidden Content

    IFA still says flashing and there is a error that has come up

    "0 - nfsd: NFS_READ: cannot send reply"

    What now? There is no movement on the RX TX 8.8/12.1
