So close, Netflix

The Netflix player arrived yesterday and Layla was able to get it set up on our Wifi easily enough, but it fails to "connect to the local network" (whatever that means). It does request a DHCP lease so I know the layer-2 stuff is working just fine—and DHCP is difficult to get wrong so maybe we're even getting to layer-3. But beyond that? Who knows.

The disappointing part is that it doesn't give any error codes, so I'm stuck trawling their support forums before I give up and call tech support, where they're surely going to tell me what I already know: I need to haul the player to somewhere where I can get unencumbered net access (and a TV) to pull down new firmware.
