I followed the installation instructions but the Movie Server cannot reach the internet to activate. This is because the DHCP server is unable to issue it an IP. Both of the RJ45 lights on the Movie Server are blinking so the electrical connection appears to be okay. I even replaced the Cat 5e cable just to be sure. I also rebooted the DHCP server (Verizon router) but the MS still won't respond. I think I have a hardware/firmware problem with this new Movie Server.
Is there an IP that I can use to talk to the MS if I were to do a hardware reset?
Okay, that's the wired side. The wireless connection 'sees' my SSID, accepts my password, and issues an IP of 192.168.1.199. I can 'ping' it successfully. But that's all it will do. The Movie Server is unable to communicate and therefore cannot reach the Internet to activate.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
