Momitsu V880N network problems

["John B" <home-automation@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Finally got around to playing with my new Momitsu V880N this afternoon, and
I seem to be having some problems with the networking side of things.

As soon as I power on the unit, the link light on my Netgear switch comes
on, but after a few seconds, the link light starts randomly going on and
off - usually staying on for about 5 seconds, then going off for 2 or 3
seconds, then coming back on. Eventually it goes out all together and will
only come back on when you reboot the player.

As you can imagine, this makes using any networking features pretty
impossible - I can't even try updating the firmware as this is done over
the network.

I've configured it with a static IP, and when the link light is on, I can
ping it and get a reply, so I know it's picked up the IP settings OK.

Can anyone think of anything to try, or have I simply got a faulty unit?

Thanks,

John
