Ethernet is tested at the factory for both wired and wireless SB2s - it's possible, but unlikely that the port has failed internally. More likely it is a bad connection. I would check two things here. - try a different cable - look inside the RJ45 and make sure all the pins are straight, and all of them are situated at the same angle. On rare occasions one of the pins can get "wedged" upwards a litte bit and this can prevent a good connection to the cable. Sometimes you can pop it downward by poking at it gently with tweezers or a toothpick. If neither of those helps, give us a call after the holiday and we can troubleshoot further. -- seanadams _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
