Hi all
This is a small guide on how to setup a windows based pc as a cardServer with NewCS
Aftre of a lot of search on the net for cs(cardsharing) i found a lot of info about this but only for linux based pc.
Nothing about cs and cardserver with a windows based pc.
this is a newbie guide to CARDSHARING with pc as a server
So here is how to setup a win based pc as a Cardserver

What You need:

Hardware
a) A pc capable of running Windows XP or Windows 2000 with
1 network card
1 serial port
(memory and disk its not importand????...for cardsharing)

B) A serial card reader
c) a dsl connection (if you want to share your cards with others)

Software

a) Newcs 1.13 (in the atached file)
B) NewcsGui (a gui interface for the NewCS server)
(a and b files are incuded in the atach. zip file)
c) An clean text editor (like ultraedit)

Unzip the files in a directory
Edit the configuration file newcs.xml
1. find the line <node>COM2</node>
and put your com port where the cardreader its connected to yout pc
2. in the line <udp_host>192.168.0.101</udp_host> put your pc ip address
3. in the <newcamdserver> section find the line <name>yourservername</name>
and put you cardserver name.
4. in user section put user name and pass
save the file

Now you are ready to run your server

Run the program newcsgui.exe and your server its ready
You can see any server activity in the file logfile.txt

Now your client can connect to the server using newcamd or mgcamd emu in port 10001 (default)

For wan connection you have to setup your router to forward all traffic in port 10001 to the pc's ip

Thats all you are UP and Running

Well,
two things to say thanks to colossus_r,

# First for bring me to this forum
# Second for this great howto he wrote , it tokes me just 10 minutes to follow the steps to get newcs running on my win2000 server .
For me the first time to see PW running with newcamd ...but it works.

I have an important question regarding NEWCS running on a windows platform.


What windows client software can be used to connect to NEWCS server, say for IRDETO 2?

A lot of my friends still have Humax decoders, so what can they use?


(Thanks Colossus for telling me about this forum by the way.)

For humax it's the easyest way to use the HSIC 2.09 software or newer.

Hi z80

What window client???? I cant follow you????
NewCS server accept all clients (Ragegast-Newcamd-Mgcamd) running on a DreamBox or a linux pc with
software client(Newcamd) and a satelite reciever.

I dont now alot of things about Humax but if can use one of those clients it will work.
