the fact that it is 1 in and 4 out makes me nervous. most switches are just 4 or 5 with no distinction between in and out. But even assuming it is a switch, try this experiment. Move the Touch next to your router (temporarily). Plug it in to the router via ethernet and then go through the commands toby10 recommended to switch to ethernet: Touch > Settings > Advanced > Networking > Choose Network > Connect to Ethernet Network Does it get an address and connect in these circumstances. If it does then that means something is odd about your switch or hub or whatever it is. Please try this and report back on what happens. p.s. The fact that all the now playing screen options are "lit" is no issue whatsoever. This just means that you can cycle through these options by tapping on the screen. (tap and you get art and info, tap again you get just art, tap again you get VU meter, etc.). This is NOT related to your issue (which I think is just poor WIFI connection). This is why getting this ethernet connection issue solved is primary. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85818 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
