i see on your picture you are using COM 6 this should be COM 1 if your using a Null Modem Cable unless its a usb to null modem then maybe its COM 6

Yes i'm using an USB TO R232 Modem Cable to conect Dreambox to PC .
But COM1 is taken by Communication Port[COM1] .

you need to install drivers for the usb cable and it should give it a virtual COM PORT,see what other ports you have available and try them aswell

are you using a laptop if so what operating system if win 7 try running dreamup in xp mode or even check that dreamup is allowed in your firewall

If you change to other usb port connection, in pc, you can have other port com in dreamup... Try others, aswell,other dreamup versions...;)

dont you know anyone with a proper null modem cable and a pc with a com port will only take around 8 mins to flash.

if the 500 boots up you could always try flashwizard pro and flash it over lan,but if it hangs on flashing the only way for recovery is with a null cable and dream up.

if your going to try flashwizard make sure the dreambox and the laptop is connected directly to the router,this way you have more chance of it not hanging on flash.

The problem is this . i updated a skin of DM500S , than i deleted it without changing to default one , now light stays only green and no picture of it! All i've to use is a dreamup! I've a USB TO RS232 CABLE .. I've flashed before but now i'm having this issue.
