I found Moncha, EL running any prog and Medialas DAC running Mamba to all work flawlessly. However, the Rockey dongle for Mamba wont work through it, I have to stick that straight in my laptop USB port. The Belkin/laptop See's it but Mamba doesn't.

Andy,
Just a few ideas:
- Have you got the latest 1.2.0 firmware on the Belkin box running?
- Are the FB3 properties on the Belkin box set NOT to "automatically connect and disconnect"?
- And is "attempt to reconnect the device if the connection is lost" ticked?

or i may even wait till the next meet as that seems to be the only time i get to play with my kit these days

This looks very interesting as a possible distance solution for the audio DAC. Will one of these wireless USB things come to selem?

There not strictly a Wireless USB thing, it's a RJ45 linked Network USB hub. The wireless bit only comes to be when they are RJ45 connected to a Router

NICE!! I have actually been using two laptops to provide this same function. I place one laptop near the stage and projector and another in the booth with me. Then I connect to the stage laptop wirelessly using VNC remote connection software. This is a MUCH superior idea. Good stuff!

I also used to do that, but put a mini ITX board nexto the projector and VNC to it. Although VNC is pretty slow if you are wanting to do live shows. Windows remote desktop is better, but a lot more bandwidth hungry and harder to get going.

If anyone see's these for cheap, please let me know! $99 is the cheapest I can find right now from newegg.

Just get an ipod touch to use VNC.

It worked like a charm at FLEM.

I use it all the time with AutoPlay.

dan helped a few people set up there iphones to link to their computers at the last meet.

in theory its great but not a good range and drops signal all the time

I have VNC on my ipod touch, but once again, it's pretty slow :/
