KDL52XBR6 NIC

I have a KDL-52XBR6 TV. I installed a netgear wired router to my entertainment center and have successfully connected my sony bluray and dish DVR. The TV link is active but the network won

Wonder if you got a patch or crossover cable? These days most ethernet jacks work either way but you might just be unlucky. If the cable is yellow (or red) you may be unlucky. Look for one that is white, blue or grey

There are probably some settings on the TV telling it to look for your particular server (router). Also the router (obviously) needs DHCP turned on. Take a look on page 51 of the (English) manual.

Welcome to the forums!

Thank you for the welcome.

I made my own patch cables and they work fine with the other equipment. This TV gives limited choices on setup with no mention of a router. I installed a netgear theater router which found the other devices fine. I assume I have DHCP on but will verify. Called Sony and they went thru the same steps as me except they had me reboot the TV, that did not help. Hate to have a tech come out (under warranty at least) to tell me it is somehting simple. Kinda confused.

(Obviously) you can swap cables as a quick test.

Sounds like you might have to set the proxy address to the address of your router. (look at that setup screen very carefully, and enable setting of this stuff by hand by selecting Manual).
