Is it possible to leave out the middle-man (router) and go straight to ones PC via RJ45 ?
Seeing that there is a major issue here with networking shares, I wonder how many have tried going directly to their PC.
I would try it but that would need everyone patience in this house while I remove wireless functions for a while as I play around and test.
Has anyone tried it as a solution ? If it were to work, would using an RJ45 splitter work (one to router, one to WDTV) on the PC NIC card ?
Check if the link below helps.
Hi,
I’ve used a 10/100 and 1GHz switch for this purpose and both work just fine, the 10/100 are really cheap now and work great! 
If you use windows media player and share your media to the network then all your media (audio, photo and video) will be available from your windows OS >Vista PC and this will include USB drives connected to that PC. I’m using FW: 1.06.41V beta.
Also available your media player folders - playlists, ratings etc.
Accessible from Media Server .
When it works its a good little box, pity bout the latest firmware fiasco (ff = 11111111 = 255)
