Do you connect through a router to both the DSL modem and the empeg? The empeg has a 10Mbps network link only, and there have been instances where routers that auto detect speed do not work right.

You may want to consider a dedicated crossover cable between the computer and the empeg, or putting a 10Mb hub in front of the player. This way you will not need to worry about your connection.

Glad it works! Enjoy!
