Hi,
I am running XBMC (installed by PPA..following http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=185738) on Ubunt 8.04 computer which is acting as a network access point and hence it is connected with two networks (A and B). My XBMC can detect all the UPnP media servers on the Network A but can detect any sever on the network B(although a UPnP media server is running on network B).
(In network B all the PC s has static IP )...

Can any body advise any solution

Do you want both or just one or the other?

At the moment I am interested in only one at a time, that is network B

Well, it sounds like a possible bug (XBMC only checking the first network connection instead of all available). One possible work around for the time being is to swap which network is going into which port on the computer.

Hi malloc,

>>One possible work around for the time being is to swap which network is going into >>which port on the computer.

Can you please explain how I can do it.

Just a physical swap of the ethernet cables. You've got two ethernet jacks on the computer. Take out the cables and plug them into the opposite jacks.
