Nik,

 

I don't think Internet Connection Sharing alone will help. ICS expects its clients to connect over the LAN, but the Bush STB has to dial in to the server.

 

I use ICS for my Internet connection. The STB dials into the server using RRAS and then the server connects to the Internet via ICS on another machine. However, you could probably use RRAS alone, configuring 3 adapters - the LAN, the internal modem and the external modem.

 

You could probably find a freeware alternative to RRAS if you don't have W2K Server.

Steve,

This is interesting...

Can it use Internet connection sharing on server, so server can dial-up?

Works fine. I'm using W2K Server with RRAS. Took a little while to sort it out, but it's going now. You don't get any more speed, since the modem connection is still the bottleneck, but it doesn't cost anything. You can also use it as a front end to your HA system by using your own web server. If you're using it primarily for your own web pages, it's easy to optimise them for the STB.

 

Go for it. It'll cost you next to nothing and it's another gadget.
