Hi all

 I picked up an eva 8000 and spent a pretty frustrating night trying to complete the installation - if anyone can spot my blooper and set me straight I would be grateful!

 I have windows vista home premium, netgear router (not sure which - came free with my AOL subscription), and a wifi link to my pc. On the PC the link is shown as very good, the router says the wifi link is 'great'.

 Managed to install the entertainer at the tv end - sound & picture on the tv set and the 8000 has access to my wireless netgear router. I uploaded the latest firmware from the net via the router and can play 'clips' from the net - seems the EVA to router worked fairluy easily!

 At this point things went a bit astray - the eva prompted me to go to the pc and install the disk - this was done and the software loaded - I get as far as configure  and the pc shows the eva alongside a checked box on the screen - I hit connect and it shows connecting for a while then states 'cannot connect'.

 I did try turning off my vista firewall, seemed to make no diffrence. I pinged the EVA using the ip address on the eva and that worked.

 In addition to the vista firewall I have mcfee anti virus software - not sure if that has a firewall, as of yet not shut that down but the ping test worked?

 I have read on this forum that a guy 'unchecked' the eva in the connection box on the install and that worked - seems odd - will try anyway.

 Any thoughts on what could be the issue?

 Thanks in advance
