Disklavier

Problem is SOLVED!

Don, I didn't ask specifically, but what Linksys adapter are you 
using?  I was having my problems with a Linksys WET54G ("Ethernet 
bridge") that had been loaned to me by the Yamaha dealer (they 
couldn't get it to work either).  HOWEVER, Fredy at Yamaha customer 
service loaned me a different device, specifically a Linksys WGA54G 
("game adapter")that worked immediately and flawlessly.  (Thanks, 
Fredy!)  The shutdown/restart issue is completely resolved.  Are you 
using the WET or the WGA device?

Thanks,

Brij
