Does the Gemini image support PPP through serial line, my 5620s
has broken network and only way to connect is through PPP.

I heard good thing about gemini image, I'm currently using Hydra
(because of PPP support)...

Thanks for advice...

Hi Tintinetmilou,

How do you ppp with 5620 ? I tried in the past did not succeed. Can you give some details on how to please. I have Gemini 103 in my box, I will tell you if it works.

Hi pcd,

My impression is that I had the mainboard of my DM5620-S replaced by a
mainboard of DM5600 when it was repaired as when I connect through
Hyperterminal and can see the following message at boot time:

Dreambox DM5600
loaded at: 00500000 005B31F8
relocated to: 00400000 004B31F8
board data at: 004B0128 004B0168
relocated to: 00404C14 00404C54
zimage at: 00405150 004AF237
avail ram: 004B4000 02000000

We already had a discussion together some month ago in the following
thread about this: http://sat-industry.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14635

I do need to use Dreamup5600 when upgrading FW, so I guess it is
recognised as a DM5600 and not as DM5620.
I was told I just have an old bootloader...

What I do, I boot my PC with Linux and start the pppd server on it following
the procedure you pointed to me http://www.zeta.org.au/~jon/dreambox/ppp.html

After a few second I get connection message from the dreambox on the
linux box and am able to FTP or telnet to my dreambox using the IP
address I defined when starting the pppd daemon on linux box (10.0.0.89)

It is very slooowww as it runs at serial line speed, but it's better than
nothing and anyway the addons are not very big so that's enough.

If you do have a DM5620s that respond as a DM5620 (not like me) it
might be the reason why you cannot run pppd as I was told it only
runs on DM5600 boxes...

Cheers.

Thanks Tintinetmilou,

I remember our earlier discussion, I thought the conclusion was that your box was 5620. Perhaps it is in effect a 5600. My problem then was that my ethernet connection suddenly stopped, but the box was 5620. I could not do ppp with the method you used. Finally the box packed up completely and had to be repaired. Everything OK now. Thanks again and good luck.

Regards, pcd.

Dude!

What image are you using in your 5600? I have a 5620 with a dead ethernet port and I can't manage to find an image/EMU combination which works in it!

Any thoughts?
