Reflashing seems a bit excessive when you could just plug the receiver directly (not via a switch/router) into a PC ethernet port and manually configure that port to say 192.168.1.230 netmask 255.255.255.0 (DNS/gateway not relevant). That PC's browser should then be able to connect to the default receiver IP address. Might be a minute or two after powering up the receiver before it gives up on DHCP and defaults. Also assumes that the reciever hasn't previously been set to a static IP. Don't forget to put the PC's port back to how it was when you've finished. B-)
Unless you have *really* old kit you won't need a crossover cable, the ports will sort themselves out.
