Clicked on referral and went to XPThemes. I looked around and didn't find anything. How about an answer here. 

Not a lot of folks doing SysMetrix skins besides you these days Uvah.  You might try going to the SysMetrix site and looking or asking there.

Uvah the problem is that the NIC will sometimes change to something like this Software Loopback Interface 1 after applying a new skin. You just need to click on the network tab and choose your network adapter which will be option number 2 usually. Then click save. Mine is working fine.

Not a problem. I don't know a lot about much but I know my smx,

Uvah your regular connection should not be the software loopback interface 1, at least it is not for me. That is only a 6 digit number. I do not use wireless for security reasons but when I enable my wifi adapter it gives me 3 options in sysmetrix. My first option is the loopback 6 digit number and then my Ethernet connection and then my wifi connection which are both 9 digit addresses. Try enabling all of your connections in control panel/network connections if they are not already. Then click on your wireless option in sysmetrix and save the theme. Exit sysmetrix and start it again. There must be a conflict somewhere and sysmetrix is not recognizing your wifi.

Yes it will have the 6 digit loopback but that is not what you should be selecting. If you are then that is why your having the issues. You need to select your ip that corresponds with your connection type ie. for me if I use the wireless connection it will be 192.158.2.67 (just an example) and my NIC description is 802.11n Wireless LAN Card.

If I use my Ethernet my last 2 digits are reversed and the NIC description is Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller.

You should not have to exit sysmetrix either. I just suggested that because your having a problem with sysmetrix detecting your wireless card.

Uvah when you say the gauge hands do not reflect the change are you making sure your starting angle and total degree settings are correct?

They are bang on for me.

A trick that I will sometimes use when I use a gauge dial with markers that do not circle 360 degrees is to set the gauge I am using to random value, change the settings and observe the movement of the needle. Once I have the settings to where everything lines up I then change the gauge from random value to tcp or cpu.

Uvah the starting angle depends on your dial. I never have mine at 360. For example the last 2 I done the settings were starting angle 240 and total 240. Like I said it depends on your dial and the markings of where they begin and end on the dial. It also could be like you said that there is not much traffic and i suspect that the gauges and numbers will not match perfectly anyway. Try downloading something and watch it to see what happens.

Absolutely Uvah. If your IP changes it will revert to loopback so you need to always reset to your current IP.

I have heard about the storms down South. Its kind of funny in a way. I do not mean the storms are funny but I always had thought that living down south would be a good thing because of the weather. I like the warmer climates. People have made fun of us Canadians but at least we do not get Tornadoes that destroy our homes. I will take the snow any day over a tornado. I will just have to find a warm spot to retire too without them or the tsunami's, floods, drought or man eating crocodiles, lol
