Many thanks for participating in this survey, folks! Cheers- AL

I've ticked that my box is always connected to the web as there isn't an exact match

My box is actually connected through a PC with ICS, the PC is often but not always on - so close enough I guess

alcaholjunkie · 30-07-2009, 12:09 PM

Like Lincsat I too have ICS sharing the connection for the dbox (and my old xbox1 running xbmc, lol), and this PC isn't on 24/7 like the one underneath it. (supposed I could reconfigure my stuff to have ICS on the 24/7 machine though)

My other dbox is too far away from any form of router. ^_^

router & dbox2 are connected by cable 90% of the time but it's not a permanent connection (cable over carpet) and router/pc not on 100%

humforce · 30-07-2009, 03:06 PM

mines permantly connected to pc via router but not online much.

Snowy · 30-07-2009, 04:09 PM

Yes mines always connected to web as I have run a cable from my router and now have a network point behind my tele and it terminates upstairs where my router is ;-)

wullboy · 30-07-2009, 04:39 PM

no, not connected, and not really thought about it too much, just happy d box is working, Cheers !!

Great feedback so far, lads! Keep it coming please... We'll let this run for a few days- then reveal why we're asking these questions, and maybe coax the guys who have replied affirmative in any one of the first three categories to have a good ponder...

Cheers- AL

Permanently connected to internet via wireless router purely because the router sits on top of it and a half metre ethernet cable came in the box free.

bobsylas · 30-07-2009, 05:11 PM

I have two boxes, one is connected to my home network but not set up for an internet connection but it could soon be if there was a good reason :-)
the other I run a cable to every now & then when I want to play with it

so I clicked on permanent connection
