Ok,

so no one knew or cares :-( ... but I think I've managed it (although
can't test the final result just yet.. anyhow here are the steps I've
performed so far:

Tools needed: WinRAR, tar (msdos)

1. Use WinRAR un uncompress the receiver.diff.arf.gz file
2. Rename the resultant receiver.diff.arf file to receiver.diff.TAR
3. Use WinRAR to uncompress the receiver.diff.TAR file
4. Backup (DO THIS PLEASE!!!) the receiver.arf file from the DELL
Audio Receiver directory
5. Rename the receiver.arf file to receiver.TAR
6. Use WinRAR to uncompress the receiver.diff.TAR file
7. Copy the files and direcotries from step 3 to where the files from
step 6 are.
8. Use TAR to recompress the files/dirs into a new archive .eg.
myreceiver.TAR
9. Rename the myreceiver.TAR file to receiver.arf

[these folloing steps have not yet been performed by me (waiting for
DDAR arrival)

10. Reboot the DDAR.
11. Pray
12. If all goes well then use:

http://<ip-address of receiver>/receiver.html

from your PC and you should be able to control and view your DDAR
remotely. Use Terminal services and you could run it on your
EPODS/Ipaq etc :-)))

13. If any problems occur after DDAR reboot you can replace the newly
created receiver.arf file with the original backed up version.
