    I just got my unit a couple days ago and got it hooked up to the network last night. I didn't have a wired connection available near the TV (yet) so I configured my vista laptop to act as a wireless bridge. The WDTV LIVE PLUS was able to self-configure, but was unable to communicate with DNS. After a couple hours of fiddling I found that I was able to get it to work by disabling IPV6 on the laptop - then it worked perfectly.

    I'd found that suggestion on a forum about using a wireless bridge with an XBox, and felt it would be useful repeated here to help other frustrated people trying to google up a solution.

    Hopefully someone figures out how to install hombrew and mods on the + box at some point, I got excited when I saw that forum and then let down when I found that the PLUS can't do that (yet). I'll peek in once and a while to see how things are going on that front.

    For anyone interested, my Live Plus is hooked up to a Linksys WRT54G router with modded firmware that allows it to act as a wireless bridge. Works fine with network content and streaming Netflix, Mediafly, and Youtube.

    I also hooked up my Live Plus to my Linksys G Wireless Gaming Adapter (ethernet bridge) and it works. Watching Netflix right now without any stuttering.

    same setup as mine. If you have 2 routers, then all you need to do is flash one of them with dd-wrt firmware (google it) and then bridge them. It was quite a bit faster and more stable than the usb dongle I had on there before.

    I am trying to do a similar thing but I am having the DNS error. Primary router running tomato, secondary router(netgear) set up as a bridge(dd-wrt) and wdtv is connected to the secondary router.
    Do you see wdtv as one of the devices connected under LAN settings of the secondary router?

    Have had it working wonderfully for quite a long time now... even wrote a tutorial how to do it.
