From: ikzienietwathierstaat on 13 Jul 2007 18:13 I have a sitecom wireless router (WL-018). I have purchased a netdisk (nexstar LS) with ximeta software. With a direct ethernet cable connection all is fine. However, when attached to the wireless router the disk is not recognized (offline error 0000FF14). The ximeta support desk has eliminated several options and has indicated the it might be that my router can not handle the LPX protocol (or filters it). Sitecom support has not answered. Does anyone have a solution for the above problem

However passing through everything between the dievices that should be able to communicate should work. Unless LPX violates the current Internet standards. In that case it is possible that these packes get thrown away as defective. Easiest solution is probably tho get an addiditonal ethernet swicch and connect over that. Arno

My bet is that wireless connection is just not good enough for LPX and the device is timing out. -- Nik Simpson

Then it may not go past a router anyways, unless the router is configured as Ethernet bridge (which usually does not make any sense at all...) Arno

I found on my system that the connection became unstable if the network was very busy which suggest that it just doesn't like a congested or slow network. -- Nik Simpson
