#236487 - 04/10/2004 17:00 Ok. I need help again :(
meth222 new poster Registered: 21/08/2004 Posts: 18	I got rid of my desktop and I'm trying to a connection from my labtop and the player. I am using a USB cord but I can't get the "link" light to turn on on the back of the player. Why is it not working?

Keep in mind that if you can get ethernet working, then it's faster for the car player. _________________________ Tony Fabris

What he's saying is that the link light is an *ethernet* link light. There are no link lights for USB, on any device that I know of. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Please carefully read the text in that link I provided. You know that the orange words are links right? _________________________ Tony Fabris

schofiel carpal tunnel Registered: 25/06/1999 Posts: 2993 Loc: Wareham, Dorset, UK	Probably because you have shoved the USB "B" connector into the Ethernet socket instead of the USB one? Since that's the only socket on the back with a link LED, I suspect you'll be mailing me soon for a new ethernet socket.... _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	Actually, the link light is next to the USB socket, even though it's an indicator for the ethernet socket. Have a look... _________________________ Tony Fabris

schofiel carpal tunnel Registered: 25/06/1999 Posts: 2993 Loc: Wareham, Dorset, UK	It's next to the ethernet socket too, if you stretch things a bit I seem to remember a young gentleman not so far from this post doing the same (USB in 't Ethernet, bah gum!) a while ago.... _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015

In his defense, he was reaching around behind the player and plugging it in without being able to see the sockets. _________________________ Tony Fabris
