Have you tried: rebooting the router (not via the web interface, but unplugging the router for a period of minutes). Then boot up only the device which has Slimserver on, don't allow anything else you have to connect wirelessly. Then try to connect the SB. This is just to rule out an IP conflict of some sort which can arise if you've been playing around with settings. Also, you have added the necessary exceptions in any antivirus/security software program you have like McAfee or ZoneAlarm? It wouldn't hurt to add an exception for "slim.exe" as well for testing purposes (assuming you are using a 6.5 build) just to make sure the reason it can't find the server is because it's being blocked by your PC. -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21764 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
