Maybe I need a different router?
No, a 169 address is a fallback address your SB will assign itself when it can't connect to the DHCP server. Your router will correctly block access to it because it's not in its subnet, which is probably 192.168.1.XXX. Until you can figure out what's going on, try to determine what your LAN subnet is, this should be obvious from your router IP, and assign the SB a static IP in this subnet. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29809 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
