Brand new DSM-520 upgraded to the latest firmware:
- Wireless w/ DHCP or Static IP works
- Wired w/ DHCP or Static IP does NOT work (link light is lit up)
- Laptop using the same cable/port on the router works just fine
Has anyone seen a similar issue? I've tried just about everything except downgrading to a previous firmware version or RMA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I've the same problem too. Any help or suggestion pls.

Are you connecting directly to the computer or using a router? If connecting directly to a computer you will need a crossover cable. A standard network cable is required for connection to a router.

The DSM connects to a router. I know the cable/port configuration is correct since I can plug a laptop using the same cable and grab an IP/data transfer with no issues.
The only other thing I can think of is speed/duplex negotiation mismatching. Is there a way to manually set the speed/duplex on the DSM-520?

No way of changing the speed on the DSM. You should be able to on the network configuration control panel in Windows, though.

Have you tried setting a static IP address and to ping the IP address given from your PC?

Yes, tried a static IP address and get no ping response. Although I do get a ping reply when configuring the same static IP on Wireless.
It is definitely something with the Wired configuration, but the router and cable test good. Seems to be a faulty NIC or duplex mismatch in the DSM-520.
Thanks

Yeah I would recommend contacting technical support Via telephone. See if they can help or they just may need to issue you a replacement.
