the only other problem with new image is: don't know if it is a bug or just box playing up? but when you try and connect it through dcc, it keeps saying no send (check dreambox i.p address) but when i re flashed with (old openpli 2.1 beta) everything connected first time with no problems :-/
i'll have to re flash openpli 3.0 and give it another whurl.
thankyou ever so much for your help.
kind regards, danny
