We are having the same problem. We have found the network, entered the password, and it says we are connected to the network, but it says we cant connect to the internet. The default gateway says "fail". Other computers and internet tv connect to our network and to the internet with no problem.thanks

Yes, I called the Panasonic Help Desk and they recommended the same thing. turned the DHCP off and set a static IP. I agree with your comment. After breezing through multiple other wireless gadgets (including a sony streaming player), this one was the worst in terms of set up. Thanks for your response!

Mine worked fine. Then it updated the firmware and after that it keeps saying cannot connect to the internet. My DHCP is already on..so don't know what else to fix. Will try to shut down and restart everything. Let me see if that works. Annoying. I heard complaints about network on Sony and decided to buy this. May be time to get Sony!

Hey! What works best is to just manually set your IP. I went through all of the restarts, scoured the Internet. Pick your IP....192.168.1.xxx. Your gateway and primary dns are 192.168.1.1. Im pretty good at getting tech gear running and this player just didn't play nice with the wireless!

Did you try calling Panasonic Help Desk? The lady walked me through the process step by step. Pretty helpful.

The previous reply addresses connecting the BD390 to your network. Your title specifically talks about communicating with your computer which suggests that you might like to play media (home movies perhaps) stored on your computer using the BD390. This may be possible using software included with the player which you would need to install on a Windows XP/Vista computer. More information may be found on page 45 of the BD390 manual which can be downloaded from http://www.lge.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=BD390&initialTab;=documents# (make sure you get that entire long URL).

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

Hi Amazon Customer, This Sony BDPS300 is not capable of connecting to internet. - Jerome

gojoWell, I can tell you that I talked to Panasonic and you will have to hard player to something in order for it to go online. You will need an ethernet adapter with LAN cable. This is what you would use to play games, so they are called internet wireless bridge, or adapter bridge. Just make sure you can use a LAN cable with it since there are no other options on player. Check out other threads concerning this too. They mention types of adapters to use.Val

I have this same issue with an earlier model (BDP-S350). For me the problem began when my blu-ray player automatically updated its firmware last spring. Even blu-ray disks that played fine earlier stopped playing, although many of the new disks that I've tried work fine. Sony appears to be oblivious to this issue not providing any meaningful customer support. There are several possible solutions posted on the SONY website and on various discussion forums for other models (e.g, turn off the Internet access, clear the USB jump drive memory, unplug the unit from the AC power for a minute or two). None of them worked in my case. I finally gave up and bought a new Panasonic player; out of principle I persisted in trying to 'fix' my Sony blu-ray player for quite a while and eventually decided to pay a few buck to buy my way out of the aggravation). Bye, bye Sony products, hello Panasonic (They also burned me years ago for discontinuing support [e.g., driver updates] for one of their expensive Vaio computers.).

It has a connection for Ethernet but I have not used it so I don't now if or how it works; wish I would have gotten a machine with WI-FI but alas..... The box says - "Ethernet, 10/100Mbps, BD-Live, BD-J" it that is helpful. I have also not used a BluRay disc from another region as of yet but only region A. One issue I have had is that if I left it on but not using it, it shuts off automatically and then will not respond to the remote or front buttons; I have to unplug to essentially reset; otherwise, I am happy with it so far. Watched the Lord of the Rings extended on BluRay one weekend, one right after another and no issues [Yeah, it was a long day]. Hope this all is somewhat useful in deciding your purchase. M.

Thanks so much for the quick reponse.How good is the quality of the movies over the internet? Does the blu ray player hook up to the net and if so is it wireless? Or are you talking about renting movies thru the mail in blu ray.I'm trying to avoid the mail rentals since my family tends to misplace them.

plug and play streaming from your network: try MyHD Media Player Recorder :) I've gone through 3 different models of D-link players and while they make good modems and such... their players don't cut it. have you tried converting any of your dvd's to divx? assuming you even get it to work, can you even say the quality is the same?

I have had no problem with my netflix DVD rentals, Blu-ray or SD. I hooked up the Ethernet before using the player. Upon powering up for the first time, the player was connected to the network instantly and began updating with no intervention on my part. I wouldn't be concerned about the method of update. The biggest concern would be that the player recognizes the file and won't allow you to reinstall it. In other words, it will state that "no update is available." My hunch is that the network settings must be manually entered in the player when you connect an Etherrnet cable after the player's 'update" has already been completed. I would try manually setting up the network before redoing the update. If the automatice detection settings work, it 's much easier. Here's how. Power up your 2500. Pull out any disc that may be in it. You will need to get into 2500's Setup menu and then Network setup. The easiest approach, set DHCP to the "On" setting and DNS to "Automatic". If these settings are already chosen, then you will need to get some numbers from your Network software on your computer and manually enter them. If not, go back to the main menu, select "A" and try using netflix. I doubt the player needs to be powered down and restarted. Assuming netflix streaming does not work with the automatic settings - go to your computer. Using your networking software, find the following numbers: IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and Primary DNS. You will have to get these numbers and manually enter one or all of them. If you just absolutely can't find the numbers or get them to work, then I would try redoing the update and possibly contacting Samsung for support.

Stanley D., It will play Blu-Ray discs, DVD discs, and even CD-Audio discs. You don't need it to be connected to the Internet to run. However, you may want to connect it once to make sure you have the latest updates installed on the player. But you don't have to. --Mr. S

it connects perfectly,unfortunately it did not work properly,intermittently at best. i solved my problem which seems similar to yours by purchasing the two obsolete dvd players below,either one will work and you can find them on amazon for about the same price as a convertor.they have both HDMI and component (RCA) outputsLG BD530 1080p Network Blu-ray Disc Player orLG BP220 2D Blu-Ray Player with Smart TV (Black)

Having same problem with netflix.. Is anyone having an issue with losing network connection? WhenI power my BD65 off and then back on it will not connect to vieracast.. When I try to test connection I keep getting failed message.. Can only get connection back by resetting the player (owners manual page 29), only to lose it again when power is cycled off and on..

Most likely you will have to buy Sony's own Wifi Adapter:Sony USB Wi-Fi AdapterAt least that is true for Sony BDP-BX37 1080p Upscaling Blu-ray Disc DVD Player w/HDMI, LAN & USB from what all the reviews are saying.Sorry for the bad news. Hope you have a happy New Year!

Actually, the DMP-BD85 comes with the DY-WL10 adapter that you connect externally (i.e., there is no wi-fi antenna "built in" to the blu ray player). As we all know, the WL10 can be connected to the TV or the blu ray player, which leave me with my original question:"I have a Panasonic TC-P50G25 HDTV and a BD-85K Blu Ray player. Both devices have USB ports that are capable of connecting to the Panny wi-fi adapter. It's not clear to me whether it is best to connect the adapter to the HDTV or the Blu Ray player. What are the advantages/disadvantages of connecting the adapter to the Blu Ray vs. the HDTV?"

Hello Timonthy p Demco, thank you for your message. In regards to your question, this particular model number of Blu-ray disc player does have an Ethernet jack that would allow you to plug a LAN cable. For more information, check this link: https://docs.sony.com/release/BDPS1200_BX120_S3200_BX320_S5200_BX520.pdf-Oscar.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.
