Not good. Let me see what I can find out.

 Thanks

Everytime I try I get a whithe screen and a loading message but then the screen stays all blank. I do see the new messages from Online Services on   the Server Menue, but hasn't been able to use CinemaNow, Snapfish or Live365. I do see the emdia been shared by the PC. Just can use Online Services. Any idea on what may be wrong?

When you press "On Line Media" the x280n simply tries to open the OnLine media home page (it is a fixed URL in the firmware). If you get a white page, it means that the x280n can't access the internet - it has nothing to do with what s/w runs on your PC, since this is a direct connection.

Can you access the internet from other devices in the home? Can you check if your router blocks Internet access from the Connect?

When installing it, did you get any error message that it can't access the Internet? (again, it simply tries to ping the hp.com web site)

Ygolotuat said: Thanks for your prompt rpely. I think that your are right. I have a Linksys router with Paranting Controls that asks for sign up before give access to web pages. Do you know where I can get the MCA address of the x280 so I can programm the router to by pass the sgn up process for the device? Thanks agaign

Go to Settings

On the top list  it is Network, the third item (I think) is view Network settings, where you can see the MAC addresses (wired and wireless)
