Hi this was all new to me until a couple of days ago. I purchased an Ambit 250 from ebay flashed with the infinite firmware, The seller also provided the full software to setup the MAC & Tftp IP, Came with full instructions and was up and running in 5 mins, They work a treat.
My Ambit 250 is connected to my router via ethernet and of course the VM cable but nothing else needed to connect it.

Good Luck

whats the sellers user name?
because im thinking about getting one.
is it straight forward to set up once you recieve it?
and in future if you have to put new firmware on it,
does it instruct you how to?
only thing i'll need my own mac details, if i brought one correct?
