what do you mean get in? redboot is enabled by default so just use the windows app or redboot.pl to connect to 192.168.1.1 within the first few seconds of powering it on.

well tryed that what version linux did you use I tryed it fedora9 but keeps turning the card off so have bring it backup every time would a cross over cable help?

ok installed archlinux still no joy I'm runnig version 3.0.2 r1 is there a link to a lower version thats easyer to get into

Still not sure why you want to downgrade the firmware. Redboot is available by default on the Fon+ so just plug your wired port directly into the fon, set your ip to 192.168.1.254 and bring it up. Run redboot.pl 192.168.1.1, watch for the failure messages to start then power on the Fon+.

Having the two plugged together should create a link between the two so the interface should stay up.

I use a cheap usb network card to do my flashes, that way my machine stays on the wired network and I can plug the devices in and play with them without losing any connections.

well I get 192.168.1.1 unreachable a couple times then ICMP Host Unreachable from 192.168.1.254 for ICMP Echo sent yo 192.168.1.1

Sorry, can't help then, whatever I've done to my Fon+ I've always been able to get into redboot just by doing what I said before.

Do the second set of messages start after you power on the device?

You could just try having a ping going to 192.168.1.1 then starting up the Fon, see if a normal ping gets through, that works for me as well.

nope don't get any ping response from 192.168.1.1 at any time get a response from 192.168.10.1 after a while don't know it's being such a twat to get into

thats the ip to connect to the fon :angry:

No, redboot comes up on 192.168.1.1, not .10.1. Your interface should be on an ip on the same subnet, usually 192.168.1.254.

Don't know what the original firmware version was as I flashed it almost as soon as I got it.

Seeing as we are both in the same city we could meet up and look at it together. No promises of a fix but I know that my hardware works and connects to my device, it may work with yours.
