Getting receivers to change from wireless to wired can be a pain. It's been a while, but I think I last did it using the net-udap utility... I'd say, if the Touch is working as you want wired, to go with that. You can try the net-udap approach... it's not TOO hard, but can take some playing around to figure it out. When you tried to reconfigure using the controller, did you ever try a full reset of BOTH the receiver AND the controller? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103289 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
