Hello All
Need some help please, I did look through and search for an answer but had no luck. Long story short I dusted off my Echo last night and got it all up and running but for some reason when I use it to watch TV or recorded shows it crashes the main HTPC on the network. Has anyone else had this issue? When it does play it seems to work well but if I change channel or something like pause TV is causes the crash. I setup the Echo as described and added the extender via Tasks then used the code.
Can someone help?
Thank you
Stu

Usually the reason the HTPC crashes when you turn on the extender is that the drivers for the NIC on the HTPC need upgrading. What model NIC do you have?

I have the same problem but, it's only when I setup link aggregation on my Intel PRO 1000 MT NIC's and set the appropriate ports on my 3com 4200g switch. with no link aggregation, no issues. Any idea why that would happen? Can the extender not handle aggregation?

If the HTPC crashes while its talking to the extender, I think that still points to the HTPC's NIC driver.
