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.

Those are good things to check, that's the first step. Make sure to go through all of the other troubleshooting steps here.

I am wondering if there could be a software/hardware problem with my player?

Hardware, yes. Software, no. Not if you put on fresh 2.0 software and you don't have any special stuff in your config.ini that runs third-party programs or disables the network interface.
