Martin, I haven't used this to connect to my ICD2, but I'd imagine it's possible, maybe. Using the included software, you just set up a virtual COM port and all communications directed to this COM port are redirected to the ET-1 over ethernet. This is where there may be a problem, however, since I'm not sure if MPLAB will recognize the extra COM port (mine is set up on COM 5). It seems that MPLAB only recognizes COM 1-4, but I may be mistaken about this. If I get some free time, I'll try it out to see if I can get it to work, and I'll let you know the results. If anyone else has already tried something like this, please fill us in on the details. On a similar note, does anyone know if there are any ethernet-based USB hubs available? That is, a USB hub that sits on your network so anyone on your LAN can access a USB device as if it's connected directly to their computer.
