haha.
This networking stuff is driving my nuts. I think my problem is that my D-Link 4port resedential gateway, and my DSL router are conflicting and trying to give out the same IP Addresses. I probably have things setup wrong.
I think you may be right. Having two DHCP servers competing can cause a lot of weird problems. I have Verizon DSL, and so I don't know if this applies to you or not. But I believe that you're going to want to put the DSL modem in its 'bridge' mode. That should shut down whatever network services the DSL modem is trying to provide, and will force it to just act just as a physical connection to your DSL provider. The trick is that you then configure the router with your DSL username/password & connection settings (PPPOE, usually). The router then handles creating the WAN connection through the modem. You then just use the router as the DHCP server, firewall, parental controls, etc.

Thanks Peter, this is going to be fun I can tell. One problem I have is I reset the DLink about a year ago when I was having IP conflicts, now I can't get into the config menu. I may try reinstalling the software that came with it...aarggg
The receiver is being delivered today and I would like to upgrade the firmware, unless it comes with the latest. I do want to get the Audyssey DV and EQ though...

Randy you can just hook it up directly to your internet connection and enter the menu, via the on board display, then run the update before anything is even connected. Once the update is done, about 75min. you can then move it to your HT and worry about how to conect it up from there, this will give you some time to get the wrinkles ironed out before the next update is released.

Randy, you may end up having to use the bridge instead. Also, take a look at the notes I sent you. There is something in there (I think) about UPnP - you may need to turn t off. Also, my personal experience has shown me that static IP addresses work better. I have 8 devices and have assigned all of them static IPs.

Thanks guys....Jay, right now my ethernet connections are not working for whatever reason, only the wireless modem, I don't believe it has an ethernet jack, I have to use my Dlink Resedential gateway...I'll figure something out, believe me.

I think I have to login to the Denon website to get the Dynamic EQ and Volume offer, and give them my MAC address or something..
