I'm at my wits ends and I'm hoping someone can help. I can't believe I'm struggling with this so much, but I am.
I've had xbmc for about 3 years now. It's worked flawlessly, until recently when I got a new router. Now I can't get it to work at all. I know the wireless adapter works - I'm running Netflix through our Nintendo Wii just fine. I also know the share settings on my external hard drive work fine because I can access the video drive from my other laptops.
But for whatever reason, I cannot get the network settings correct so that XBMC can either see/browse my network and find my video folder.
I've tried it dynamically, and have gotten nowhere. I've tried it static, and have gotten nowhere. I think static would probably be best, but I'm at a loss at which settings go where...
IP Address:
Netmask:
Default Gateway
DNS Server
DNS Suffix
Where should I be getting the settings to plug into which field? How can I get this thing to see my network?
