How do you have it set up right now? Cable->USB, empeg->Ethernet? Yes that is correct.The link light on the back of the player is on.When i run ipconfig /all a box appears but disappears in 2ms so i cant read what it says.I also have the serial connected at the same time I dont know if that matters or not.I have the network tab to auto configuration(dhcp).Also on the configure player box when emplode first starts up what boxes should be ticked for connection type just network broadcast and/or specific address.Also thanks to everyone for there help so far.
