I, too, am having a problem getting my NC to update to v1.1. I just purchased it a couple of days ago. Have followed the directions to the letter. I have downloaded the update a couple of times to verify that it has the same checksum each time. BTW, it would be nice if BN would post what the checksum is supposed to be. I copy the file over, verify that the checksum is the same after the copy, disconnect and wait. I have waited as long as 20+ hours, and after hooking the NC up to my PC I see the update file has disappeared and a new LOST.DIR directory has appeared. The same thing happens each time I've tried to update. I've been posting on BN's support form, but haven't found a solution (obviously as I'm posting here).

I've wished for a shell on this thing the whole time. I think I will do as sjkevin did and root my NC so I can see WTF is going on. I was planning on putting 2.2 and 3.0 on it in any case just to see what they're like.

I'll update you guys if I get it figured out.
