Samsung BD-C6500T fails Gateway Ping Test. Why?

[North43West80]

My Samsung BD-C6500T BD Player refuses to connect to my home network! It always fails the Gateway Ping test. It recognizes the network but can't pass thru my 2WIRE Router to gain access to the internet ! At my DOS prompt I issued an c:\ ipconfig /all command and got all the info I needed to enter manually for the wireless connection but to no avail ! My Wii system connected automatically. From what I have read in other forums this is an ongoing issue. I've spoken to Samsung and they say it's the Router (load-a-crap-I-think) and PACE who manufactured my 2WIRE Router says it's my ISP. When I talk to my ISP they tell me everything is working fine and all addresses are valid and they do not offer assistance on 3rd party systems...JEEEZ ! Has anyone found a resolution to this glitch ? BTW I've already done a firmware update and that didn't help. Thanx NW
