Please provide some information about the hard- and software used.

Box type: DM500T
GUI (enigma1/enigma2): bought it yesterday out of the box
Firmware version:Beta 2005 something

your question
Box was delivered with beta software so i need to flash it.
Do I have to have a NULL modem cable or Will the bootloader discover booting from DreamUp using the network only?
What is the userid and password logging in from ftp?
I can browse the Dreambox when channging the setting to use no password. Is it possible to flash new image through the web interface?

Looks like a good box but i do not know why i was given a box with old sw. I will ask later in the store about it.
Regards Jari

Its ok i discoverd through other sites that userid and pwd is root dreambox. I have now managed to change sw to release 1.09
