Maybe try the old power down and power up routine. Power everything connected to your network down in an orderly fashion. Reset the router, then power each item up one at a time, allowing each to connect to the router in turn. maybe try the Boom first. Remember, one good game does not a championship win. :p ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106932 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
