Re: Media Center Extender gives error code 2003



Hi Todd,

Thanks for your input. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the PC
extender software and reseting the extender. In matter of fact, I even
brought my original extender back to the store and got another one since I
first thought it was product related. Furthermore, I also reinstalled the HP
windows XP that came with my computer.

I am wondering if there is anyway that some other software/router is still
interfering with the extender (this is also why I tried to direct x-over
ethernet cable). Is there any way to check the communication between the
extender and the PC?

In any case, here is the contents of my log files:
