I know this is stupid (I did it) but check for IP address conflicts, especially if you network has some fixed IP addresses (usually printers - or empegs). Conversely, don't use a fixed address that's within a DHCP's scope for the same reason. I drove myself nuts with this, it'd work for a while then quit, not ping etc...

Also, when you switch to DHCP from the config screen of emplode, be sure to cycle the power to have the change take effect.

just say you weren't paying much attention...
