        Use a Linux PC as a server, doesn't have to be a powerful one. Get an Omnikey card reader too.

            or use a DM500C as a server, can be picked up on ebay for abour 20 quid - this is the way I had it setup.

              Ive heard of people using NAS boxes and linux based modems as servers so 256mb should be fine.

                Personally I thinks for a noob its probably much easier using a dm500 as server then setting up linux server on a pc.

                  if its only for 10 mates as you say, definately use a dmxxx. it will be perfect for your needs, and not much setting up either. you can also use the box for your viewing too.
