Blu Ray Player Help Needed

[eagles_victory]

After three hours of trying everything under the sun... unsuccesfully I might add I have decided to see if anyone on the downlow can help me. The Blu Ray player is a Samsung1600 and Im trying to hook it up to the internet through the eternet cord by plugging it into the hook up in the wall. Everything is hooked up right but when I run it I get a Gateway Ping error and it wont allow me to stream netflix or youtube any help would be aprreciated.

If your going through a router, try turning off the firewall on it or any other security and see if it will connect

I live in an apartment so there is no router it just plugs into the wall.

There may be a port closed that the samsung wants open. Usually with Samsung I believe the ports that need to be open are , 80,443, and 8080.

can you stream netflix on a computer that is plugged into the same network port?? if so, then there is something going on with your blue ray player - if not, then there is something going on with your internet access...


some places block streaming video (netflix, youtube, even pandora radio) because it takes up so much bandwidth...

Have you tried samsung tech support?

I had a similar problem with my 1600.

I for life of me could not get the player to sync to the cable modem. I just plugged it into there to test and make sure everything is compatible....

After 5 hours of troubleshooting I discovered that..

I was only able to get it to access by using the router....of which I was going to use anyhow.after I tested. So once I plugged the router directly to the player ethernet port it sync'd up automaticaly and boom, I was in business.

If your plugging directly into a wall with no modem.....you may already be on a router though, quite possibly a DSL line.

Good luck!
