I have some problem. My linux do not connect to the STB (AMINO 110).

I don't know how configurate this files:
/etc/network/interfaces
/etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf
/etc/mcastbootd.conf

and how theirs bind to ifconfig? If it is need.

Because, when i typing on linux shell:
# mcastbootd -D
The system report me:
Could not connect 225.50.50.52 network is unreachable.

My dhcp.conf looks like this:

Hi,

did you find out how to make it work ???

I'm trying to flash A110 as well with a Debian and ISC dhcpd, but when I restart the dhcp server I got a lot of errors.

Which distribution are you using ? Which dhcpd server ?

Thanx a lot !

Anybody can share the original Aminet's image with Fresco or does know how to avoid the network boot and to load the image locally?

Thanks.
