I am having an issue that when the bdp 2500 goes to sleep in the normal course of its time out when idle. The entire network slows down by 500 percent, all of the K4's lockup or become mostly nonfunctional, the XP8 works but gets twitchy on some commands. Using a network scanner shows everything disappear off the network when the Samsung goes to sleep.

Now don't think that this is an ip conflict as we have remaped this system several times, all ip's are unique, the gate way is correct as is the DNS and we have assigned all static ip's outside of the DHCP range. Everything works great no problem at all except when the bluray stands idle for to long and then bang the thing goes to sleep and the network goes down. If you yank out the RJ45 on the back of the player the network comes right back up. We even tried just putting the player in DHCP mode and it works fine, but it does the same evil when it goes to sleep. samsung has no clue what is going on? We have the latest firmware installed blah blah blah

Anyone here have any ideas beside putting a bulit in the back of the transport?

Sorry for the typo that would be BDP 2500 which i have corrected

I have a 2500 in the field and have not had this issue. It sound like there is something going on the Network Interface Card (NIC). Although I have some enterprise network experience, I have never see an issue such as this. Generally my experiences have been that the NIC will flat out die or put out so much chatter that it will clog the network and slow it down. I am thinking that it’s clogging the network because all the K4 that I have dealt with generally do not lock up when they lose their network connection. I have a couple of suggestions but nothing definitive, try changing the physical port on the switch or router, try changing the cable and try a different unit.
