Thanks for you help.
How are you connecting to the satellite for uplink ? Are you using PPTP
or some other method ?
You can download the linux modules available from the Pentamedia website
on your linux box and make the DVB card receive the download from the
satellite. Ideally your linux box should have two ethernet cards and the
Pentamedia DVB Card. One ethernet will be connected to the CISCO
router for the uplink and the other will be connected to the LAN. Enable
IP forwarding on your linux box and use SNAT rules if required.
Let me know if you want more information.
