I am trying to connect my player via ethernet and I am a novice to say the least when it comes to networking. I have a few questions (I searched but I didn't seem to find what I was looking for)

First a little back ground. I am running Windows98 and have a crossover cable as well. I also downloaded and installed Jemplode already.

1.) After hooking up the crossover cable I am lost. WHat do I have to do to get it to connect? I looked up the IP address of the player in the about menu and it showed up as DHCP: 255.255.255.255, is DHCP the correct address to use? Do I have to change anything in the networking area in windows? I am currently on a high speed cable connection and I believe that it has DNS disabled if that helps to explain it to me at all. Do I have to add any gateways? PLLLLLLEASE help, I am a preschooler at this.
