Do you have security on your router set to restrict devices to only those specifically named on a list? I know I have that setting on my Netgear router. Also, are we talking about a separate Router and Modem? I noticed that one of the connections, that you say works, has the Modem and Router in different parts of the chain. -- Lesu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lesu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15321 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47548 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
