Thanks for your reply. I am trying to connect the television via WIFI (wirelessly). The router sees my television, however the televsion can not connect with the internet (other side of the router, to the public internet). I've tried changing the DNS server (on the TV) to point to 8.8.8.8 (google's) with no success (the default to use the router's proxy doesn't work either).
Anyone else have ideas on settings that would allow my TV to access the internet? As i've said before it can access the Wireless Network in the house, but cannot use it to access the internet. It has not problems connecting to and reaching the internet via my iphone in 'personal hotspot mode'
