After HP has announced about discontinuing their PC and WebOS platform, they have just reduced the price of the touchpad. Last night one of the guy in slickdeals.net has posted reduced prices and some ways to score 16gb for ~135$ after coupon. You can visit that thread here. I myself scored 2 32gb model. I hope they ship.

Pogoplug and TVersity not working simultaneously on Windows 7! (SOLVED)

I have a Seagate Dockstar with PogoPlug (shown in following picture). Later I added TVersity server to play music/videos from my PC to XBOX 360. But my problem was that they were not working simultaneously. I had to disconnect Pogoplug to see TVersity on my xbox. I searched online and that solved my problem.

Basically pogoplug adds a fake network adapter and assign itself highest in priority. I am really not sure the technological aspect of it. So the solution for this problem is;

1.Go to "Control Panel" on your PC and click on "Network and Internet"

2. Then click on "View Network Status and Tasks" and you will see following screen;

3. Now click "change adapter settings"

Note: If you don't see menu on top of the windows then click on "Organize"==> "Layout" ==> "Menu Bar" and you should see menu on top of the window.


4. Click "Advanced" and then "Advanced settings" as shown in above picture. Now you should get following window;

5. You should see that "Pogoplug" is top of the list. We need to change the priority by clicking down green arrow. I just had to make it below my "Wireless" network. Once you have done that click "OK" and restart your TVersity server. You should be able to see Tversity on your xbox now and use pogoplug also at the same time.
