Re: pirate boxes

HI I have a serial converter cable ,usb to rs232 which I previously used to add software updates to older boxs ,This is in two pieces 1st usb to rs232 the 2nd rs232 to rs232.would it be possible to get the 2nd cable rs232 to ethernet to use from laptop to spider when camping?or am I on the wrong track?

Hi,

Just get a crossover cable. They are dirt cheap on eBay.

They look exactly the same as ethernet cables but are wired slightly differently.

One end goes in back of Spidey, where ethernet currently is, the other end into laptop.

Re: pirate boxes

This is because you will not have a router with u, only yhe laptop, right? When on a holiday, u have your laptop, then the laptop connects to the net via wifi. Then your box can connect to the server. I hope i'm right.

Re: pirate boxes

Of course! Forgot about a laptop there. I was thinking of a box that has wireless capabilities.

DM 600/800HD connects to laptop wireless. Works very well.

Re: pirate boxes
