First of all, the USB connection is very shaky.

Like Rob said, that might simply be the wrong USB driver. The exact issue with the USB driver is described in more detail here. Please have a peek at that and see if that's your problem with the USB connection.

Also, I agree with the question about the software version... We forgot to ask if you were using 2.0 on both the player and on the PC. Please check that. Both the player and Emplode need to be running version 2.0 final.

Although I applaud your persistence in trying to get ethernet to work. Once you get it working, it's the best way to connect to the player because you can do some very cool things with it.

Also... Do you have a proper serial cable? Perhaps you can temporarily abandon USB and use the serial cable to configure the player and re-install the player software version 2.0. Maybe that's all it needs to get ethernet working?

If you let us know where you are maybe some one can drop over and provide you with a more direct helping hand.


Bloomington, Indiana. But if anything, I'll drop over someone else's place to get it working.

And did you hand-install the USB driver as described in the 2.0-final release notes?

Is the Router pushing IP addresses ? (DHCP). Can you go in via USB and set the empeg to automatically get an IP Address ?

Then use network broadcast within Emplode to pick up the player.
