Broadcasting your SSID shouldn't be required, but the auto channel stuff would create issues for both the Receiver and Controller. They would have to timeout their connection before retrying, as opposed to "following" the channel as neither of them implement roaming. > 1. Often the controller doesn't find the receiver.

If they are both connected via wireless, then they talk to each other through the router. The only time the Controller is connected directly to the Receiver (via our private ad-hoc connection) is when: 1) the Controller is setting up the Receiver; or 2) when you have the Receiver connected via ethernet and the Controller is bridging to the network through the Receiver. > 2.

See above. Both should have a connection to the router, unless the Receiver is connected via ethernet (and even then it should show up in the router's table, just as a wired device rather than a wireless one). -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45031 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
