It was. It actually was in the local directory, in a dir which is in the path variable, in c:\windows, in c:\windows\stsrem32 (so three times in the path variable). Nothing. Also, now that I am back home I verified and I was doing exaclty what I had previously successfully done. Only difference, I was using a crossed cable. I doubt that was the problem, though, since I could ping, ftp, http my player.
