[QUOTE="haggard, post: 87855, member: 183237"] As I read your description, the wifi has naught to do with DB, i.e. your laptop connects that way to the world and you have a cable between DB and PC. Your PC can talk to DB thru this cable but the DB does not see thru the PC to whatever is on the other end of the wifi, e.g. a hub/router to dsl. So the first thing I ask is the type of cable to DB (II or X). Then what are the communication settings in the DB? Let's have the full set; IP, DHCP? gateway and router, network enabled? And while you're at it, what is the IP of the laptop? If you are running DHCP from your hub/router, what is the subnet of your LAN? i.e. is the third number of the IP addr of yr PC the same as yr DB? and what device is allocating an IP number to DB if it is DHCP? Sorry, a lot of questions, but the reason for DB not getting to world can be due to one or more of many things. Up side, it should be simple to fix. Ideal solution is to put a wifi bridge on yr DB (see super-sticky by STICK in this section). Have you got hauppauge dec2000t s/w by any chance, it links to ext usb in a most disgusting way, by bridging networks in the conceited belief that it is the only thing anyone would ever want to use.
