Okay, please stop shouting.

Things to try:

- If it is a 10/100 card, then try to force it to 10mbps mode first. See if that works.

- Since you do not have a DHCP server (you are plugging directly into the player), then you do not use DHCP. You must assign a manual address to both the player and the PC. I recommend 10.0.0.1 for the PC and 10.0.0.2 for the player, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 for both, and no "Gateway" setting used.

I'll clarify the FAQ entry on these points now.
