Home / Other I-Appliances / Virgin Webplayer Getting files onto Webplayer

Getting files onto Webplayer (modified 0 times) gsmith22 Profile | Email I couldn't find the answer to this question in the search, and it may be a stupid question, but.... I have received a webplayer with 98Lite installed, I have a Netgear USB to Ethernet adapter so that I can connect it to my network, however I cannot install the adapter, I need to get the installation files onto the Webplayer. What is the easiest way of doing this, I don't have a hard drive connected to the machine, since I was going to use my network for storage. Help appreciated Gavin Smith 04-21-2001 10:56:38

RE:Getting files onto Webplayer (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile Some ideas: Another computer, two phone lines, and a comm program. Or use direct cable connecti over a USB->USB cable designed for that purpose. 04-21-2001 15:46:28

RE:Getting files onto Webplayer (modified 0 times) aznstud87 Profile umm i think you should just shell out for the SMC USB to ethernet adapter. 04-21-2001 19:50:12

RE:Getting files onto Webplayer (modified 0 times) aadam12 Profile | Email Place the Netgear driver files on your network. If the modem works, then just dial into your network and download them to your Webplayer. 04-22-2001 07:59:40

RE:Getting files onto Webplayer (modified 0 times) gsmith22 Profile | Email Is the SMC already supported on 98Lite ? What about a USB to USB cable, does this require software ? Gavin Smith 04-22-2001 19:19:59

RE:Getting files onto Webplayer (modified 0 times) hevnsnt Profile | Email Do what I did for the first time, dialup to the internet and download the driver for your ethernet adapter.. Then install your ethernet and then forget about it.. -hevnsnt 04-22-2001 20:22:17

RE:Getting files onto Webplayer (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile It's been suggested a few ways: the easiest thing is to use the modem. If you can set up your account through the stock dialup settings in W98, do that. Otherwise get another computer with a modem (a friend, or if you have two phone lines in your house, use them) and dial into that. 04-23-2001 08:00:48

RE:Getting files onto Webplayer (modified 0 times) gsmith22 Profile | Email Thanks for the input, but I've got a DSL account connected to a network, no dial-up. Is there a way I can connect two compters directly via modems (ie without 2 phone lines) ? Gavin Smith 04-25-2001 17:19:54
