If this situation occurs after connecting to the network, 
there may be a loop between two Ethernet switching 
hubs within the network, as explained below.
-  There are two or more Ethernet switching hubs in the 
network.
- Two of the hubs are connected twice by LAN cables.
-   
This double connection forms a loop between the two 
hubs.
Such a loop may have an adverse effect on the projector 
as well as other network devices.
Check the network connection and remove the loop by 
disconnecting the LAN cables so that there is only one  
connecting cable between the two hubs.
