Hello,

I encounter a strange problem: my Beosound 5....

There the cause of the confusion.

I assume that you've checked your networkcable, I don't have any experience with the BS Encore.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Did you try WIFI?

I think the B&O tools allows to boot on USB and flash a new system image in BS5 or BM5.

I'm pretty sure that would be the solution to my problem.
No.

I would factory reset the BS5e.

Sorry, I did it ... several times.

As I've written up there, I suspect it has caused my problem with a bad termination for any reason.

I had network and N.Radio BEFORE to do it.

Not now. The RJ45 port is unusable, I have to find a solution with the USB port which works fine.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

François

Another long shot, can you retrieve the MAC address from the BS5e? Then assign the MAC address to a specific ip-address in your router?
