Hi guys,
Please help if you can......
I can't get my 6500 to work with my network at all.
It's wired directly to the LAN with Powerline adaptors.
I'm using a linkstation and time capsule to store movies.
The strange thing is my MAC can see the tvixhd as a share for some reason but the tvix won't see the either the linkstation or tc moveis but the PINGs are all OK.

Do I have to connect directly to the tvix with my pc via usb/LAN cable and program the network settings.

Thanks

M

You need to configure a share that has guest access and map the drive then on the TViX... If you don't have a normal router where both linkstation and tvix are connected to, you might have to configure the network but since you can ping that part is already done...

Thanks for the reply.

OK, so i can ping both my nas and tc.
I've entered the share using samba //turnipmedia/mediashare/movies

Both the shares appears in the list when I go to videos, but when I press 'OK' on the relevant share it does nothing. No message at all. A folder icon appears at the bottom left of the screen. Thats it.

On my mac the tvixhd1 is mounted as a share.

Had a thought though, does it matter what format the nas drive and tc drive are?

Still stumped.....
