i have been looking at one of belkin's USB network hub, firstly for my home network, but i was thinking can i use this when imaging? i have a Atik 16hr and a meade DSI II for quiding, i control my HEQ5 pro with eq mod, does anyone have any experince with this sort of thing and know if it will work?

thanks glen

Have youu seen this thread...

I suspect the Belkin might be like the Iomega one that Kev (Beyonvision) had a look at and only support printers or "mass storage devices"

The Belkin can control any USB device but is limited by it's slow 10/100mbs ethernet port which will not support the full USB2.0 bandwidth. I have just ordered the Silex 3000 unit posted on the other thread should be here today or Monday. The ethernet port needs to be a gigbit to support the USB data rate of 480mbs.
