OK. All good. I'm not at home, so just from memory, simply plugging the ethernet cable into your TOUCH is not enough to switch it over to ethernet. Try doing a factory reset on the TOUCH (a little button on the back just above where the powercord goes in). After the factory reset, plugin the eithernet cable to the TOUCH. Do NOT enter your wifi password on the TOUCH (we don't want it connecting to WIFI, only the ethernet). -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85697 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
