I am trying to set up a bluray player to receive netflix stream, but can't activate. I am not using a router. I have a 3G wireless connection and Netflix streams well to my pc. I have the bluray hooked via ethernet directly into pc and not into a router. The app is unable to acquire IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, the Primary DNS, and Secondary DNS. I am able to find IP address on ethernet connection properties, but not the other info so that I can mannually setup bluray connection and get activation code. see what I mean?
I don't know if you would consider giving any advice. Just a shot.
Thank you! Cairn Heden
ok. thanks for the comment from MaQleod. just seeing this now. in the meantime I changed some connection properties so that they share the internet connection. Now, when I start up the LAN/ethernet connection - I lose the active connection through my 3G card. well, they both look to be active. I guess "network info" is showing me they are now both connected. But when the LAN connection becomes active I lose the use of my 3G connection, and "internet explorer" cannot find/connect to web pages once the LAN connection is active. I think the LAN connection becomes the internet connection, but it is hooked to the bluray and not to the internet itself. I'm just so unknowledgable of even basic internet connection settings. Do you think you can tell me how to get my connection settings correct?
