Got it to work but, not how I wanted.
A quick update:
I've since found out the issue is two fold. The server I'm trying to connect to is using bad redirects and the latest 352 FW on the 3000 will not let it connect and apparently never will, unless a new FW is released. I doubt that will happen as the box has been discontinued.
I've reverted back to the factory file and have no issues connecting to the server once again. I also removed the check mark from auto update and will leave it at that.
Thanks for those that helped.
Cheers :)
