Help! I've seen some great posts here, and I hope my problem is simple.

I'm having trouble with my audo receiver. I've reduced it to (what I think at least is) the simplest setup. I have my W2K computer hooked directly to the Audio receiver via an ethernet crossover cable.

I power on the receiver, and it goes into the "Searching for Music Server..." screen. The ARM software on the W2K computer (if Autoconfiguration is set to "on") recognizes the receiver and a "New Audio Receiver" is shown on the screen. However, the receiver goes into the screen where it reports the IP address information instead of finding the server.

The IP info on the screen indicates that an IP was set (says: Info net:eth ip:192.168.168.129 n:255.255.255.0 g:192.168.168.100, all correct). I can even ping 192.168.168.129 from the W2K server.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

Although this is meant for the empeg-car, many of the troubleshooting steps apply to the Rio Receiver, too. Especially the ones about using a separate 10mbps-only hub, because I think the RR's ethernet port has some of the same quirks as the empeg's ethernet port.
