Re: Linksys Media Extender Can't connect

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I have exactly the same problem. After using Microsoft VPN, I have to reset
the computer to get the linksys to talk to the computer. If I don't use the
VPN, I never have to reset the Media Center computer.

I haven't searched hard, but haven't found any workarounds.
