Are you using a null modem cable?
Pc or laptyop? Operatinging system?
What version of Dreamup?
Keep trying it will get there in the end.
Most use 1.3.3.4 and better on desktop pc with xp.

If you have another Dm try and get a ping with that one then swap the dodgy dm so you can flash it.
This works with dodgy dm 800s with No Ca Found.
Thats if it makes sense and you have another dm.
Ive had similar prob in the past and just persiveered.
I use null modem with ethernet to get it to work when ive had trouble.

hey apologies if this post is on numerous threads, just trying to get a solution....

...i'm also having problems with dreamup, its definitly not a null modem problem as i've tried it on a proper pc with serial port and it works fine.

but i only have a laptop so i use a usb to serial, the laptop recognises it, drivers successfully installed, but dreamup wont make the connection.

i've used as many versions of dreamup as possible but still no joy.

Anybody have any idea what else i could try?
