Re: [Windows] Cannot get network shares working with Boxee Box

I am using Gary, the laptop, and the IP is now 192.168.0.121. I rebooted both routers, but it still cannot access the D-Link router web config.

ok - and the linksys is 192.168.0.2 / 255.255.255.0 with g/w of 192.168.0.1? as well as Gary having having 255.255.255.0 and g/w 192.168.0.1? Also, are you connected from the Dlink to the Linksys from LAN port to LAN port, and have DHCP off in the Linksys (aka bridge mode)? I'm trying to understand how you are still able to access the internet but not the Dlink router interface.

I just had one of those of wow moments. Is there any reason you need the Dlink router? What if you just had the linksys and it served as your router and WAP (including DHCP)? Is that an option or is there some other reason why you need both the Dlink and the Linksys?

Thanks for the feedback, good to know everything is now working. Often times, the OP never posts back once everything is resolved.

Yea, I tried contacting their support about this issue. The only thing they said, literally, was that "if SMB is enabled in your Boxee settings, than your setup won't work, sorry for the inconvenience". Instead of helping me make the thing work, they basically said "sucks for you, but we already have your money".
