Don't i need a modem to use Hyperterminal? I don't have one. I am connecting the player using both ethernet and serial. Yesterday i was able to connect to the player using 1.3 and serial. After synching with the player I was able to connect to it using ethernet and 1.3 again. I tried changing it back to 2b3 i could connect but i could not successfully rebuild the database during the synch.

Now, I have it working under 1.3 again. However, A new problem came up that i doubt is related. When driving (after about 1 minute) my empeg started acting very strange. It started by repeatedly saying "marked" then the volume started going up and down and the tracks started to change. It was almost like someone was pushing all of the buttons. The remote was not in the car so that couldnt have been causing it.
