Can't connect to Ethernet but Wifi works on ATV 2 - redskinsfan - 2011-11-09
Hey guys,
Great site and a great product! I admit I am new to XBMC and I just setup my system last night with ATV 2 and XBMC. However when I load up ATV2 with a wired connection I can't get on the Internet. When I boot it just spins on the Setting Date and Time. However when I unplug it and go to Wifi it works. I would like to keep it over ethernet for obvious reasons.
Do I need to assign a static IP to the ATV 2? I have kept it DHCP for now but is something else recommended? I was going to assign a static IP later on anyways but I figured that would not cause the Internet to not work. It DOES get assigned an IP when wired but it just won't work.
Are there any other additional tests I can do?
Thanks.

It hangs on that internettime sometimes for me too. But i just hit the menu button on the remote to skip this. After that everything is working (only the time is wrong).
Otherwise i have set a static IP ... but as i said this doesn't prevent that problem from happen from time to time ...

I agree with Memphiz... Its the same for me...
Not a big deal in my opinion... I dont care about the time...

I don't mind about the time as well as long as the Internet works later on however that is not the case.
I will go home and try and set a static IP for Apple TV and then see if that helps. Maybe because of DHCP its causing an issue with it hanging? Not sure but very annoying. I want my wired connection.
