Just an update on this issue... I didn't have one incident of my problem for a week after installing a USB Ethernet adapter in the EX470. Today I received the USB Gigabit Ethernet adapter and installed it with no problems. My music transfers are much speedier now. I can tell no difference between the speed of this and the onboard NIC.
I also replaced all my cables for the Gigabit connections with Cat6 cables, and I replaced my ancient Netgear powerline adapters with faster ones (200M) from Monoprice. These are a great deal, BTW. Half the price of most other powerline adapters. I'd had my eye on them, but was waiting until I had more to order from Monoprice. If anyone else with an HP MediaSmart needs to replace the NIC, I can say that the one from Monoprice (linked in my first post) works with the XP2K 32-bit driver. You can find a link to the drivers from the Monoprice reviews. -- MeSue SUE 1 Duet | 2 Booms | 1 Radio | 1 Touch | 1 SB2 HP MediaSmart EX470 | Squeezebox Server 7.6 | iPod Touch & iPad w/ iPeng Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90127 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
