Not sure what you mean....what's the '50mg pack'?
If its a 50Mbit internet connection then its way more than enough!
What box are you going to be using to receive your satellite signals?
Your modem won't act as the server...you'll need a Linux server or Linux satellite receiver to send and receive your CS info!

virgin will give you a "virgin superhub" for their 50mb service . It is a netgear/linksys i believe so is quite good for what you need it for. You will still obviousely need a linux based server or receiver on your local network to act as a server. All the virgin hub does is handle network traffic etc for the internet.

i have a dm600 as my server and all is good but i just wanted to know if its easy to setup the new 50mg hub for cs, port forwarding and what know.
thanks -
one more thing would i beable to stream a movie over the net with 50mg
-
a lot depends on your upload speed. in some areas virgin give about 5mb upload on the 50mb package. So in theory streaming a movie in hd would be possible( hd uses about 3-4mb upload ) if the client end had about 3-4mb download speed. Obviousely you could only do this for one user on the virgin network as they dont support multicast packets yet for streaming.

would it stream more if it was sd and not hd mate
-
is the new hub easy to setup for port forwarding for cs
-
it is very easy to setup for port forwarding . Don't know about c/s but forwarding other ports works fine so can't see u having a problem with c/s . Have a couple of friends in uk who use this hub and they have no issues

sound, i orderd it today so lets see how it goes thanks lads
-
50mb down and 5mb up speeds will be more than plenty for your needs . c/s uses minimal load on net connection obviously dependant on amount of peers etc

i have this modem with 100mb and hub very easy to set up with port forwarding etc
i thought clones went down with nangra 3? i would be interested to hear how urs is working -
same as its always bin mate done nothing i have another 3 working aswell all 20mg but shit upload speed and only get 5mg download at night most times,the others have been working for i think 18 months. also if you can help me here,at one time i could get into my box with my no ip address miles away over the net but it wouldent stream just take snapshots and change channels and that,anyway i was triying to see if i could do it again for when i get my 50mg but i forgot how i did it,do i just put my no ip addy and port number,i'm getting very forgetfull i'm only 46 lol.
thanks -
you should have asked for a seperate modem and router and sayed that the hub is unreliable at least is router packs in its easier to go buy new routher than havening to wait on them sending you a new super hub r wait on an engineer to come out to u well tahats wat i did and got both seperate lol
-
they said they don't do that with 50mg cuzz thats what i wanted mate. i am getting access to my server box over the net with my dyn addy but it can only take snap shots not stream, what could it be stopping me streaming over the net is it my upload speed,sozz to go on to somthing elss
