Panasonic Home Cinema

[Monaro5.7]

I have a Panasonic Home Cinema Bluray player and its hard wired into my router. But a while back it decided to stop connecting to the router.

It stopped working a few days after installing new security on my Laptop, i have since removed the security and given it full access changed the router and the ether net cable and still nothing. Contacted Panasonic and instructed me to do a factory reset which was done but still nothing.

Now i`am wondering if the comms port has been closed by my security in the past and if so how do i reopen it?

It would help if you told us what product you're using and which router.

Your computer has nothing to do with it.

When your player is on there should be lights somewhere on the router indicating a connection, there's sometimes lights by the LAN socket on your player as well.

Try the socket you plug the player into the router with another device to make sure the router is ok.

Another option would be making sure you haven't turned MAC filtering on and inadvertently forgotten to add the MAC address of your player to the list of accepted addresses.

Finally make sure your player is using DHCP and that DHCP is turned on on your router so it'll automatically get an IP address assigned.

Double check the cable is working again and isn't in fact a crossover cable, also make sure you try the cable in different sockets in the router, I assume it's a 4 port switch built into the router?

Failing all that it's possible one port or the other is fubared
