[Problems flashing using the GUI]

I have got to stage 12 trying to flash the fon using the GUI

last output says activating partitions....but it doesnt finish the job

I have left it way over an hour & can ping 192.168.1.254 so the flashing

hasnt been successful.... can anyone point me in the right direction

do I need to assign a static address on my nic ? is the linux way a better

solution? any pointers would be appreciated

p.s. .exe had a post saying he had the same problem but had resolved it

( but didnt post the resolution )

thanx

[back to original firmware ?]

am up to the stage using ap51 flash fonera gui

all it says is initializing partitions ?

have left it way over an hour

any suggestions ?
