Hello 3808 users.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with setting up my network capabilities of my 3808. After several tries and reading through the threads here and at AVS I've established that I just suck at all network related stuff. I can't get this to work at all and get no connection to the 3808. I'm mostly interested in doing the firmware updates but without a connection...
I need some sort of simpleton's guide for this to get it to work. if it helps I have a Linksys WRT454G and I have turned UPnP off.

I have a wrt54g and the denon 3808 as well.
I use a linksys wireless gaming adapter hooked into the 3808 so that I can have wifi access to firmware updates, streaming music, and internet radio.
Are you hooking an ethernet cable from your router to your denon or using a wireless method like I described above?

I have an ethernet cable from my router hooked up to the 3808. I have a home theater pc that the ethernet cable is normally hooked up to. I unhooked the cable from the pc and plugged it into the 3808 but I can't get it to work with the 3808,

Have you done everything that page 32 in the 3808's manual says to do to setup your network. I had no problem with my brother in laws.

try running an ethernet cable straight from your modem to your denon (bypassing the router completely). If it works then we know something needs to be changed in the router settings.

It seems like I have. i have tried it with DHCP and without. With DHCP enabled it won't even give me the option to look for firmware updates. Without the connection fails every time.

Hi Lorenzo,
This is going to sound a bit out there but are you or have you run Vista on a PC that connects to the modem?
If yes I will elaborate more - save to say that it took me weeks to work out what was causing the issue with my 3808 when first purchased.

Strangely enough yes I did have a computer with Vista on it connected for a while. I no longer have that computer so it is all XP at the moment.

Make sure to turn off UPNP as well. There have been lots of reports of problems with that turned on.
