Check that you have a null modem cable.. I had similar problems andy-uk.. As I was using a normal serial cable assuming it was a null modem.. I think you're ok, and the dream-up should work, as you can see dream multimedia on the tv, display. (this means the boot-up section of the box is ok) Check again if you're using a null modem. And follow the instructions in the newbes section. About unplugging box from the mains after connecting null modem to pc. You should have network unticked... as this is only for ethernet connection from your pc to the dreambox using IPs. You should get the welcoming words too on dream-up "dream box alive" seconds after plugging it in when told to by dream-up. I had your problem also some weeks ago.. I used dream-up universal, (latest version,) and got everything back up and running again thanks to help from others.. Hope something I said here can be of assistance. Best Regards, tore567
