Have you got DCHP enabled in your router ?
If not then the dreambox is not being assigned an ip address.

Has the flash memory been erased , e.g. can you boot the box? Or is it that holding the power button is not erasing the old image?

its booting fine, and the first time i uploaded a new image to the box it worked fine , The router is all setup correctly, but when i hold the power button in it just continues to boot in to pli jade, i think Pli jade might not support hold of the power button?
Anyway i have resolved it now by telneting the box and using

mount /boot -o remount,rw
rm /boot/*
reboot

which on reboot took me too the boot loader screen, Also in the mean time i have ordered a serial card for my computer,

thanks all for your input,

Glad your sorted I had the same problem with my sisters box after flashing Jade onto it. Im doing this from memory so it may not be 100% accurate but I think there is a software update menu in the system settings, maybe expert settings. Select this and the box prompts a "Are you sure"message If you select yes the box reboots and you are then able to flash from the web browser.
