Testimonials
Also, I wanted to thank you for this site. I was one of those people who couldn't get their Windows to recognize the Zen, so i trouble shot and was completely satisfied. Thanks again.

Ah, Finally fixed it ran clean up several times rebooting each time now lists in the creative software WMP10. All I can think of is maybe the drive became so fragmented.
Thanks for the input and Great site!

Hi.
My Zen x-Fi can see my router (netgear DG834GT) but I can't get it to connect while I have the security enabled (WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) It connects fine without security. I have put the Zen's Mac code into the wireless station access list, but it has made no difference. I would be greatful for any help.

Thanks for that. Just gave it a try, no change, unfortunately. Any other ideas welcome. I should say that my router knowledge is extremely limited.

Yup. did that. and set vista as well. it seems clear that it is a router security problem, because if I switch the security off the zen connects without any problem. I just don't know how to let the Zen through without leaving the router wide open.

I'm using: WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) and I've tried: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy, but it made no difference.

Sorry, I should have mentioned, it is actually connecting and streaming, except for photos, that just showing blank screens, but the rest is good.

With a Quick-Reply you can use bulletin board code and smileys as you would in a normal post, but much more conveniently.
