3.1.8 dp8000 update problem

We couldn´t update our dp8k with hog3 and 3.1.8 software.
Forcing update by pressing buttons at startup didn´t help.
Tried with crosscable and switch, no difference.
The dp8k just ran thru a text loop and ended up waiting for update command. Hog3 tried to update the dp8k (as it should), but the dp never got the new software. The textloop in dp8k screen is very fast, but at the end it says that something "FAILED". And after this just endlesly new update suggestions after dp8k loop and the same again and again.

Luckily we had also a Full Boar with 3.1.8.
We connected dp8k to full boar with crosscable (same cable we tried with hog3) and update was succesfull with first try.

After this when both hog3 and dp8k had the same software the system works just fine.

Both hog3 and fullboar have automatical ip settings and running dhcp etc etc... very basic setup.

Updating system has worked just fine up to version 3.1.7.

    Just as a side note, and we are not using any DP8Ks OR 3.1.8 so this might be totally off topic, but we currently have a network consisting 1-Laptop running HogPC3 in Windows XP as a server, 1-WH3 console, 1-Hitachi tablet running HogPC3 on Windows 7 wirelessly, 1-Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard with HogPC3 on Windows 7 in Parallels wirelessly via Airport card, a DP2K and all the hard wired gear is switching through a Netgear 8-port switch and the wireless goes through a NetGear 802.11n dual band WiFi router. Even though it's a real dog's breakfast of gear, everything is finding each other and seems to be communicating just fine. We have all of it with static IP addresses assigned everywhere. I give this not as an example of the weirdest collection of gear ever assembled to run a show, but more to say that static IP addresses seem to be the way to go.
