You have to have a Windows or Samba server sat unprotected on the internet (with no firewall or the correct ports open) for the ERIC card to connect to. Then you just supply the details. I think one quirk was you have to put the iso image you're using in a subfolder rather than in the root of the share. After a lot of fiddling I got it to work but there wasn't too much magic involved. Hi Paul,

What format did you use for each field (Username/Password/Share Name/path to image/etc)? Fasthosts support is by far the worst I have ever had to deal with.
