Sorted.

Problem 1 - i'm a newb it was covered :(
Problem 2 - fixed by connecting directly through to a PC as oppose to a USB to RS232 connector. Could be a dud component.

I realised after raising this thread that at the back of the KryptView there is a black sticker covering the ethernet port. Remove that sticker, its found next to the VCR scart socket.

You need to plug one end of this cable: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-8125.aspx in to the Kryptview and the other end to your router http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/networking-77-u.html

I've purchased a home plug http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q...ved=0CE8QrQQwAw

and waiting to use this as part of my connection so I don't have ethernet cable from one end of the room to the other. You may want to do the same

Hope this helps

When you buy a home plug make sure it comes as a pair i.e. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/191930?utm...medium=products

As per the description in the above link "Simply plug one XET1001 into your router and another XET1001 into any Ethernet-ready device 1"

Therefore, if you connecting a second box you need to buy another separate plug (you can buy individual ones).

The choice of plug does vary, i've bought these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00267Q3SI/re...ASIN=B00267Q3SI but haven't tested them yet since I missed delivery and won't able to pick them up until Friday due to work :(

Although the ones you mention in your post should also work.

you need a router for em to work, so they would need to buy one for the box to work, see if you can get one with more than port on it, that way you can connect two things at once

Im getting there i think...Right the Netgear XETB1001 you say you already have, you then say your picking up the Belkins, can i ask are the netgears not that good?

And if i was to get another box, would i just need one additional plug, and i would say it would have to be the same as the first two? Re the plugs themselves, they come in pairs normally do they, and are they both the same as each other?? cheers!
