Hey all
well i am running the newest version of XBMC for Media PC along with mediastream skin, but im having trouble getting an internet connection to my PC when connected WiFi
If i plug it in via ethernet to my router then it works fine and all scraper look ups etc work, but if I unplug that and connect using my Dlink wireless PCI card then no luck! the PC connects to my network & internet fine (using automatically obtain ip address etc) & i can browse the net etc but when i run XBMC on it it does not get the connection, no rss feed at the bottom of the screen & all weather & movie lookups etc fail.. when looking for thumbnails the options change from download thumb.... to "Remote Thumb" and no image comes up"
I wanted to try and assign it a static IP to see if that was the problem but notice that I don't have that option in my network settings, (no options to change from DCHP to static etc? just an option to enable HTTP Proxy, after a quick search i can see that these options are there for other people)
Any ideas what could be causing the block? its annoying having to have a massive wire running across the floor to the pc!
Thanks in advance
