Trying to hook up my dvr to the internet. It goes through all the motions but says there is no internet connection(22).Do I need to change my router to static and how do I do this.
If you are using an AT&T supplied 2-Wire router - then I have the same setup.
It does work.
First you can check to see if DHCP is doing the job.
Go to your router address:
(something like 192.168.1.254:5000) < they should have given you this on install)
Look at your network and see if the DVR is there.
If so, note the address.
Now go to setup on DVR and see if it has the same address.
If not...
You don't need to change the router to static, but it helps to change the DirecTV dvr to static.
I have the HR-20.
Give an address in the range of those leased by the router.
192.168.2.166 or something.
Make sure your first 3 octects match your router ie: 192.16.1
Just go to setup on the DVR and change it to the hard IP address.
If the router is not uPnP (2-Wire is not), then you may have to open a port or tow to get DirecTV VOD to work (maybe not or I don't remember which ones, googe it.)
The IP Mask should be 255.255.255.0.
Open the screen with the button below the lower DIrection Switch.
It is the you go for
'Find SHows'
"manage Recordings"
If you see a new entry entitled "Pictures, Vedeos and more" then you are online.
If not --- google some more.
