My HD DVD player has an Ethernet connection with which they expect to
download firmware update. How would I go about setting this up on my
SBS2003 network, with ISA 2004 running?
I guess that it would be similar to how NAS volumes are accessed; with
the exception that NAS volumes usually do not call home and expect to
chat with a server.
The device will also use a NTP server to acquire time, but that should
only mean talking to the SBS2003 server box, no?
Never had a dvd player that would connect to a network, interesting. If its
only for a firmware update I'd be inclined to never plug it in unless I
found I needed a firmware update.
I would have thought it would pull down its IP address and more importantly
gateway and ntp server information (if any) from your DHCP server. In which
case it should just be a case of plugging it into your network and letting
it get on with whatever it does.
Whether ISA will cause a problem ... I've no idea. Sorry.
