Yes very pleased. I just hooked up the BF and all is good as well. I just can't believe even the BF wouldn't connect to the laptop.

Now the challenge is to get it connected to a Linux server

**fred121** · 21-06-08, 03:38 PM

Good to hear you got it going.

I found that my Greywolf software 0863b software "locked up" or froze overnight.

Is this normal ? - Grey Wolf Midnight was at least not doing this.

I was hoping that Iwas not going to be slave to a machine. Last thing I want to do is to have do software restarts and the like. It was bad enough not getting card updates and sticking the card back int an Irdeto box.

Please, what is the experience of other members here with the same setup..

It is your setup.

try a pc running win2003 with all the updates done and about 40000000000000 licences.

oh...and don't expect it to run crap like folding at home etc.

no firewall software no virus checker etc etc...just a dedicated machine.

no screen savers or power save features to kick in the middle of the night.

blah blah blah......

All this has been covered so many times where people blame the software.

Thanks z80

I am using Windows2000.

Going to get another laptop on Tuesday and after I find a copy of Windows server 2003 I will load that on it.
Yes it will be dedicated machine and I will keep all that peripheral software off it.

Sounds like this is the answer to stabilise my setup.

Thanks again

anybody had a look at the devices offered by moxatech

HI Chaps
I have a wireless rs232 to tcp/ip adaptor bought from here -
the orange one in top right corner.
does not support real com mode only tcp/ip.
I suppose it wont work in place of a BF430 then ?
Just want to check before building another season for nothing.
Regards Clanser

No it wont work instead of a BF unit.

The BF unit has a few extra features one being the real com mode.
863 was written by a great man, and was written purely for the BF use.
and the model BF mentioned (i forget now) are factory modded 863 friendly (the button inside the BF unit under the baby board on the motherboard).
It would still be worth you doing the research as 863 and a BF unit will give a stable setup, so stable it has a client limit to avoid it being abused.

Hi.
Thanks for the info.
Obviously the original BF unit is the way to go !
