Let's get real. Do you know of any search service which does not include illegally copied copyright material in its listings? Do you really think you won't find any in Google, Altavista, Yahoo or your favorite search service? So why are you just talking about Napster? Should these sites exclude any listings about Windows except the official Microsoft sites to make sure it doesn't list any warez? It is just not economically nor technically feasible for search engines to deal with copyright issues.
Stealing satellite TV is intellectual property theft just like doing the following without payment to copyright owners: photocopying copyrighted books/magazines, taping copyrighted movies and music, exchanging copyrighted mp3s via Napster, downloading warez/cracked software (or just copying the software from a friend's floppy). I wonder if the people who were so negative about satellite TV theft are consistent and do not engage in any of the above comparable activities.

First you need a dead chicken, some holy water and a virgin. But seriously it was quite easy.
After I got the dish all set and commisioned it. I shut it down and removed the USB ethernet card since linux doesn't work with it. I then used a crossover cable to connect the 180 to eth0 and set eth0 to the second address of the/30 subnet that is assigned to the 180 by the hub or if you want to wait for the bootup you could use DHCP instead. I then setup eth1 to a private network address and tied it into my home networking. I setup ip masquerading on the linux box and repointed all the internal PC's to the eth1 interface on the Linux box.
This is all you need to get masquerading going on a fairly current version of Linux.. I use Redhat 7.0/sbin/depmod -a/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag/sbin/ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160/sbin/ipchains -P forward REJECT/sbin/ipchains -A forward -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ
I even have a 3com Ergo Audrey on my kitchen counter that is working via starband. I have one pc in my local network running the IPA software and it is proxying for all the other equipment so the performance is good.. I did some large downloads via linux last night and a 35 meg file only took about 6 minutes or so.. not too shabby.
For me neither Cable nor DSL is going to be available for years. My current dialup connection is fine for Usenet and mail (I use a text based shell account); I don't do games and do few file downloads. This leaves surfing the web as the internet activity which is very sluggish with my dialup, in particular web discussion forums (of which Slashdot is one) [unfortunately fewer and fewer web sites are Lynx compartible]. Gilat beta testers, what is your experience surging the web?
