Sony BDP S350 Internet Problem?

[hdtj01]

I own a Sony BDP-S350 BluRay player and cannot get it to connect to the internet. When doing Network Update it always gives me the message "Cannot communicate properly with DHCP server." I have gone to Network Settings and it displays my IP Address and Subnet Mask but everything else is dashes. I have it set to Use DHCP and Auto Acquisition. I have Time Warner DSL ethernet with modem in Austin Texas, What else do I need to get this blu ray player to connect to the internet? FYI, I connect the player to the same ethernet cable I use to connect my computer to the internet and it works fine but the Sony player will not connect to internet using same ethernet cable.
