A friend of mine is looking at getting one of these as it just falls within his budget.
His current setup is the rotuer downstairs with his pc upstairs connecting via wireless.
His tv is also in his bedroom.
What he would like is to connect the WDTV straight to his computer to play the media files off of it?
I am assuming a cross over cat5e cable from the pc to the wdtv would work? is there a way to set a static ip on the wdtv? (it would be reserved focoruse in the router). What would you set the gateway ip to would it be the computer its plugged into or the router?
