[QUOTE="oldfart, post: 598351, member: 310479"] The ONLY way I get it to work EVERY time is:- 1. get a 'good' RS232 lead - I got a cheapo - it doesn't do the job - bought one from m.a.p.l.i.n 2. Turn off your windows firewall. You need the IP address of the DM - switch off, then switch back on whilst holding down the bottom button - it will tell you the IP address. Switch off again, take ALL leads out. 3. Connect PC DIRECTLY to DM with network lead & RS232 lead - if you don't have a PROPER RS232 interface on your PC - you are screwed! USB to RS232 don't work. 4. run Dreamup and connect to DM, using IP address. Tried nearly EVERY other combination - doesn't work!!!! (despite what other people might say). Best bet - install Barry Allen & put your image onto HD, then you can load whatever image you want. All the above - in my humble opinion & hours of re-booting/sweating & swearing! [/QUOTE]
