Hi marvinlee1, remember me at all?

Here is the file you seek, linked below. This software was released a month ago. You need to have a dongle to use it.

To answer your question above, the dongle goes into the back of the receiver, and a Cat5 cable goes from the dongle into a router. A router will "share" your internet connection between your computer and your dongle.

Coolsat 7000 IKS Dongle Setup Instructions

Dongle software update and instructions:
Coolsat IKS Setup

1. Download above software for the dongle.
*** READ THIS NOTE *** - When updating dongle software on a straight through serial cable you must use a null adapter or just use a null modem cable for this.
(Remember the serial cable you got with your receiver is a straight wired cable)
2. Then install latest bin to the Coolsat receiver.
3. Plug in the dongle into the Coolsat with the ethernet and AC adapter.
5. Perform factory reset and hard boot the Coolsat unit from the rear power switch.
6. Setup satellites and scan in channels.

Good Luck !!
