Samsung Blu-ray player says the HTTP port is disabled
I am trying to connect my wired Samsung Blu-ray player to the internet and I keep getting the message that the HTTP port is disabled. I have tried assigning its own IP address and also entering the ro...
- I installed a firmware update for the blu-ray player onto a flash drive and updated the player through that and it connected again finally. Guess the new router was not compatible with it before the update. I would try that.
My router is another model, but I haven’t changed routers in a while, the DVD player was working with it. I changed the cable modem though, from Comcast’s to my own. Everything else works as before, just this DVD player had the problem, from more than 15 devices connected to the router.
I have a Samsung Bluray BD E5300. It used to work fine for 4 years. Then one day it decided it didn't want to connect to the internet anymore. I have been online for over six months looking for a solution. It is the final connection 'Internet Service Test' that is having the 'HTTP port is disabled' message. I have tried every 'trick' out there. It is not the router I have come to realize. The player was originally connected to one service provider with its router and now it is connected to a different one in a different town. So I believe it is the actual player that is the culprit. Any new suggestions out there? I'm just about ready to toss it out and buy a new one.

Finally!!!! The firmware update did the trick. After trying two different service providers, I came to the conclusion it was the player and not the router. I hope everyone else out there sees this who thinks it is an IP address issue.
