I have been given a wifi frame for xmas, set up fine apart from the wifi bit. I have a bt hub wep enabled which works with my streaming media, laptops etc. When I set up the frame it states it is connected to the hub, I put in the wep key and then it states it cannot find my home computer, any ideas?

I have tried the wep key on everything else and it is fine, the frame is 5 foot from the hub, driving me mad and bt are hopeless! kodak forum and web site gives very little info if it does not work? Otherwise a great bit of kit help anyone???
 
Yep tried all those, you can only connect media player to share media when the frame sees the network, as I cannot get the frame to talk to the network it cannot share, the hub is connected but not to the network. Anybody else got any oter ideas, thanks in advance.
 
Is it bad that I dont know why I made that post above? I seem to be posting without realising now :|

Anyway, You say it says it states it is connected to the hub? and it does this before you try putting in the WEP key? :( Sounds very random. You sure the box you are entering the WEP key into is meant for the WEP key? I once kept putting in a WEP key in a computer name box when setting up a friends wireless network as I wasnt reading the thing properly .
 
You said it was connecting to the Hub and now you imply it isn't. Couple of questions:

1. How is the host PC connected to the Hub? Wireless, Ethernet or USB?
2. Do you have any other wireless clients?
 
yep connects to bt hub ok, then goes straight to wep key part of frame, then it scans for my computer and states it cannot find it., I scan it again, finds the hub and the wep key comes up again.........and so we go around again. Doing my head in.
 
Think you maybe missed my question just above. Is the PC on a wired connection. If so, then drop the WEP for a short while and see if it works without.
 
yep host puter is wirelss, so is laptop x 2 and also philips media streamer. All use the same wep key and case sensitive. It cannot work without the wep key although it does see the hub fine and states connected to hub.
 
Some things can work with a pass phrase and generate a key themselves. Others need the key itself and won't work with a phrase. This site has a key from phrase generator if you are using a pass phrase and not a full key.
 
Assuming you are using 64 bit wep.... your router might accept a 5 character pass phrase (say it was 'peter') it then converts peter into the 10 character key. the routine to create the key is quite commonly used so other things will work when you input 'peter' as the key.... but in reality they are converting it to 10 characters too. So 'peter' is really A33F9CE714 and your device may need that full key instead if it can't do the conversion itself.

So short answer - just try the first one.
 
sorry can't help with wireless connection, mine is the non wireless model, anyway, assuming you get it connected, make sure you check out my previous thread re "bad file" on Kodak SV811, for files to be viewed on the kodak frame, must be saved as jpeg "std baseline", if you expect any help from kodak, maybe a reply by next Christmas, it's got to be 6 weeks & they still haven't got back to me.
Good luck.

Try temporarily setting your entire boot drive [pressumably C] as shared [windows will hate you, but its only a temp test] and see if the Frame can see it then - if it can, chances are it really is just a wrong setting, if it still cant, then possibly an error with the frame itself?
 
return it & get the cheaper SV-811, it's no problem putting the images onto say a 1gb card. :thumbs:

my digi frame is an EX1101 are you sure yours is theSV811 as its non wifi, and not EX811 (wifi), hardware for EX811 is at http://wwwuk.kodak.com/global/en/service/downloads/dln_ekn033382.jhtml?pq-path=10952/10548/10552
 
try...
You can connect to your Home Hub to check status and alter settings via your PC's web browser - Go to http://bthomehub.home/. Once you've logged in to the BT Home Hub, you need to go to the 'Advanced' section.

In Configuration select wireless

* Wireless - Set up the Hub's wireless settings[/B] : SSID , speed, channel, encryption (WEP, WPA-PSK or WPA)

in `wireless` set interface type to 802.11b(legacy)/g
set channel select to manual
set channel to 9
 
If all else fails Hit it with the biggest hammer you can find
 
Hi done that and still no joy says it cannot see my network, connected to the hub though???? It may just be knackered me feels.....
 
OK one last go - did you follow the Kodak frame instructions for file sharing ie adjust settings in windows media player 11?
