Hello,
Can someone please help me set up GeeXbox so I can play audio/Movies and watch slideshows of my photo collection on my WII.
My WII is set up on my wireless network and it and my home computer that I am trying to access have static IP addresses.
I setup Mplayer CE with Windows shares and with this I can access music and videos on my home PC.
I must say now that I am not that technical and setting up Mplayer only required the IP address of my home computer and a share name.
I have looked through the network file on the SD card and although I have filled in some IP information (hopefully in the right place) I still can’t access my home PC.
I have also specified the Windows shares (no ID or password necessary) and I have pasted the whole network file configuration below.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
By the way, what should the 3 letter file extension be for the configuration file?
Many thanks
Frank

Accessing Windows share
Re: Accessing Windows share
Make sure you are using MINI version and wifi is actually working.
At least your SUBNET is set wrong and GATEWAY is missing.

Fartersoft minus the soft part.
