i used the build in TFTP from windows instead of program TFTP2

Congratulations. TFTP is not for the faint hearted.

You clearly know your way around these things, so next time you see a firmware update you might do better to download the files and apply the update manually rather than automatically. That gives you more control.

yes, next time i will

took me about a whole day to find the right way.  search the net on a lot of sites and forums
