added a new router (dir-655 dlink) and now player no longer can access network.


??? not new at networking.. everything else works fine on the network.. could network hardware have died??? on the player??

Is the link light on on the router/player? Can the player obtain an IP via DHCP? Yeah, the NIC could've died, but I doubt it. Did you try a different patch cable?

 

[qwerk]

tried different cables...tried even going direct to cable modem... nothing...everything else hooked to router.. ie switches.. access points tivo voip works fine...

Does the rest of your network still work? Do you computers have internet now with new router? Have you power cycled the lg with new router??

Are you using DHCP?


If so, how big is the DHCP address pool size (ie: how many DHCP users can you have on your network at once?)


Is it possible the other computers on your network are exhausting your DHCP range and your BH200 can't get an IP address?)


If that's not it, building upon what Jon suggested (power cycling), perhaps you should go into the BH200 menu and reset it to the factory settings (under Other/Initialize/Factory Set), then re-do the network config.

pwer cycled.. factory set player....have to look at dhcp addresses.. but that should not be it... i'll check.. beer impaired right now.

 

[qwerk]

narrowed it down to the new router.. hooked old one back up and everything worked... but i want to MAKE the new one work

any idea's before i contact dlink customer unservice?

well dunno what is different with the dir-655 but it didn't want to play well with the lg... it would look once to see if it had access.. then quit...i had to turn it on and watch for it to show.. and add reserved dhcp access for the address it had.. all good now.
