    hello about feb or march this year we got aurora and alot of testing and messing about myself and a friend came up with these helps tip i hope its what your after.


    To launch the web browser, choose the Raspbmc settings menu and there will be a launcher. you can also see it in programs menu. When you launch for the first time you need to wait for the download. Once installed the pi reboots to load the browser. to exit, choose file-exit as it replaces the config file back, so that the pi boots back to its original kernel for xbmc.


    Before jumping to use this new browser, please keep in mind that, this browser is supported in wired network! so if you use WiFi, you are out of luck. You are out of luck if you assign a fixed IP address to the pi! So you need to use a dynamic ip address with DHCP and keep the Ethernet cable plugged. This is a first attempt and the effort by the developers needs to be appreciated. So don't complain! If you like to try, just try it. If you want to remove it, it can always be removed.


    So if you get trouble in connecting to the internet with aurora web browser on raspbmc, make sure



    1,Enable dhcp for the raspberry pi (if you have fixed the ip adress on router)
    2,Use Ethernet cable to connect the Pi to internet (not wifi)
    3,Go to programs menu and launch the browser and wait for the raspbmc to reboot
