Sounds to me (of course, I'm only a "junior" member ;) that the problematic TV/monitor is emitting RF interference of some type, disrupting the wifi signal just enough to prevent connection. I would try booting up pCP with monitor powered on but 1) with TV/monitor connected to different hdmi source and 2) with powered TV/monitor not connected to any source. If either produces same result, than you can eliminate pCP as the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SteveLazer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67202 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105997 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
