Sorry for not writig the past days, but I was away from my station... ;-)

In my confusion the transfer of the songs (but only that) worked well over USB; the "Rebuliding Database" / "Writing Player config." still hangs a long time and then crashes.
And my Network is working fine, there is only my Worksation connected to a switch, wich is connected with a Cablemodem... However, this network Configuration worked fine until I had my JEmplode crash.

I hooked up the player on USB and monitored the serial output, but it is not much and it still seems to hang:
