Thanks. I hope this posts okay as my last attempt timed out! I don't doubt what you are saying but find the facts confusing. Today I re-flashed my box to 393 and then used the Box software update to go to 394, clearly my LAN cable is working fine. After a period of time, not yet defined, I find the box and Telnet features will not update. Clearly I am no expert but it seems something is being corrupted somehow. It is not too long ago that I re-flashed and set up without using any backup data, hence I would prefer not to do that again unless you are saying that is the only way forward. Regards Frankblueking
