Most of my mkv files are over 4 GB. The LG wont read them when I try to stream them, and the FAT32 system for a pen drive wont let me use big files.
How do you guys watch these kind of files?
Help appreciated.

Thanks

Try the following:

Choose the static IP option on the BD370 and reserve an IP on router.

On the BD370, make the following entries:

IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (use your reserved IP)
Subnet: 255.255.255.0 (usually, match with your topology)
Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (default for D-link, use your router IP)
DNS: 4.2.2.1 (use Level 3 DNS instead of router)

Thats it. It should work like a champ. At least mine did.

Good luck.

He said that it had poor BD video quality. ( he said that it introduced jaggies during 1080i60 playback) However, all of the other reviewers claimed it had excellent video quality. Not only that several owners of the player on this forum and Blu-ray.com did the same tests and could not reproduce jaggies. I have to say that his information doesn't make any sense in relation to the LG370 and LG390. To say there is big differences in video playback is counterintuitive. I think he may be flat wrong. I wish I could do some side by side tests. I don't suppose anyone on here owns both machines do they?

How do I reserve an IP on my router?

I'm not really technical so I don't have a good idea of what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated.

Let your LG player detect your network, select it in the list that comes up, then enter your password. As far as the network settings, I left the default options ("Dynamic" and "Auto"), and it took care of the rest. Let us know how that works.

I am having some difficulty hooking up the wireless piece for the BD390. (newly purchased). I set it to "Dynamic" and "Auto" and it tells gives the the error that my Dynamic IP is not avail.

I used WEP2 for security, I am not sure if its related to the "keys." (not sure what that means. I am sure I have the PW right.

I have checked my Linksys WRT54G Router and verified that DHCP is active. What am I missing?

I ended up going to Wal-mart yesterday to buy an ethernet cable to hookup on my own that works great. So I go home today for lunch today and notice that the bottom of the remote slides open and that is where the keyboard is to enter in the numbers for the IP and DNS. I had no idea that was there. So I'll try that after work and return the ethernet cable.

But now I'm thinking about getting rid of the the 370 and going 390.

Many people here claiming 370 plays movie files is because they own a European model.
