So I tried a few more theings to try to get this to work. I tried a twisted cable directly to the back of my computer, I loaded a older consumer operating system onto the player v2.0, I also disabled the firewall on XP service pack II, all of wich made no difference.

I am wondering if there could be a software/hardware problem with my player? I plug it in and the link light comes on. The firewall asked if it is ok to allow access to the player (before I disabled It) so I know that the computer sees some sorrt of connection.

What I dont understand is Why the player is not showing a network adress in the "about" menue. I think it might be safe to say that the problem is on the player side. I have tried several cables that are known to be good with no success.

If anyone has any idea what could be causing this, any input would be appreciated. [email protected]
