    Could you test it at a friends that has a different router and cable? Make sure you set it back to auto first though.

    Sorry e45 was thinking of the sv combo for a sec there regarding firmware. Reswob if you open FF or Internet explorer and type in address bar 192.168.1.254 does it open your router page?

    Bizarre! A list of sites? So that means 192.168.1.254 is not the ip address of your router. Okay well, go to start 'Run' and enter cmd and hit enter. Then in the dos window that opens type in ipconfig /all and see what Default Gateway is there.

    Bazzak or someone else here would know about this as unfortunately I don't have one. Good point though, should stick to tut as much as possible.

    There is not a USB port on the front, only on the back.

    I wouldn't go trying to prise it open just yet until someone with one can confirm if they used the back one or front one. From the pics I've seen there is only one on the back. One of the lads here should be able to tell you

    There you go, cheers kaibaboy.

    You need to find out your routers ip by doing what I said earlier or else it certainly won't work. Go to start then select 'Run' then type in cmd and hit enter. Now in the box that appears type in ipconfig /all and in the list that shows up you will see 'Default Gateway' this is your routers ip. If you tell us that we can tell you the list of what to put in. At the moment it seems to me your putting in the wrong router address which is why it is going mowhere mate.

    Going to watch the match. Back after.
