[QUOTE="stivo, post: 605711, member: 183752"] The DM600 web flashing procedure worked perfectly for me; I didn't have to go anywhere near the Dreambox at all. After the flashing was complete I speculatively tried to telnet back into it and got a BIOS setup screen, with network settings and various other options. I chose "Abort" on the "Exit" page and the box rebooted. To answer a question I had myself, it looks like no matter what IP address you might have set in the Dreambox network configuration, the BIOS is set to obtain an address initially via DHCP (unless you change this in the BIOS itself). This is how you can still get into it remotely even if the OS hasn't come up. In any case, I have configured my Netgear router always to hand out the same IP address via DHCP to the Dreambox.
