Thanks, all.

I'm returning mine anyway, so it doesn't much matter, but our WiFi is 2.4GHz and works fine with other devices. My DPT-S1 worked fine at home, but on a University campus with a WAP just 10m away through one pane of glass and nothing much else, couldn't connect most of the time. More annoyingly, the WiFi would just quickly flash between on, off and standby.

I had found that troubleshooting guide, but it too is piecemeal - it links to a PDF someone made about connecting to Box, but Sony have no details about the intricacies of connecting in general to WebDAV servers and generally it seems in most instances owners can't get it to work. Indicatively, that link mentions solution servers, but I can't actually find them mentioned as a menu item anywhere else.

If the software was more accessible or better documented, I might have bee a happy owner.
