[QUOTE="Nick.Doyle09, post: 1197646, member: 194476"] Hey guys. First time posting here because I'm at a standstill with my problem. I go to a relatively small campus college and I am living in a room by myself. Being at a college with a wifi signal virtually all over campus, there have to be multiple networks, right? I use Boxee and iTunes to watch DVD's/connect to Netflix and listen to music from my bed. I want to sync my Android Phone to my computer via wifi to control these two programs. I already downloaded the Boxee app and the TunesRemote+ app for my phone and they worked on my network back home. However, when I get to campus, my phone cannot find my computer, presumably because, for whatever reason, my computer and phone are using different access points or networks. I can't change the network on my computer using the Airport icon in the toolbar because it's just one network. When I sign into the network in my phone, there are different URL's to login: "nac-cas1-red.net.schoolname.edu", "nac-cas2-red.net.schoolname.edu" etc. I've tried connecting to all of those but changing that doesn't fix the problem. But, like I said, when I'm at home and I'm on MY network, it is no problem connecting to my computer. What's the best way to put these two devices on the same network? I don't want to have to buy a router or an Apple remote to fix this. PS. I also have an iPod that has the "Boxee" and "Remote" app that would work as well if you are unfamiliar with Android phones.
