Hmm but really strange it did not work with a crosslink LAN cable.

Yeah. In your original diagnosis, you said the crossover cable worked but produced the same intermittent timeouts. Which is why I didn't suspect the switch. If that statmement were true, it would have narrowed down the problem to cable, player, or computer, and specifically ruled out the switch. Are you sure those were the exact results you got with the crossover cable?
