WDTV live hd and powerline netgear AV200

Thread Starter 
I can't connect my WDTV live hd to my home network using netgear powerline AV200 XAVB101: always Server DNS incorrect! It obtaines an IP address but when I control connection the DNS server is incorrect and It doesn't read my shared files. I have a DVICO Tvix 6500 that, instead, I connect without problems and quickly. And I have a second WDTV live hd in my living room connect directly to the router that works very well.
Is there any trick for that? Or, simply, WDTV doesn't work with powerline?
Many Thanks for your anwers.

I don't know the answer to your problem, but I can say the WD Live+ does indeed work with Netgear Powerline adapters. I had been using mine for some time with a pair of AV200 adapters. I recently upgraded them to AV500 adapters and put the AV200's in other rooms, so I have an expanded and mixed PLA network. Everything works fine with the Live+ and my NAS units.

A word on my configuration:

I have an 8-port gigabit switch (GS108) as my network main hub for my wired network. Main PC's, printer, NAS units, wireless DSL router and the master AV500 all plug into the GS108. The second AV500 is at my media center and plugs into a 5-port gigabit switch (GS105) -- the WD Live+ is plugged into the GS105. The two AV200's are in other rooms and connected directly to network devices (a PC and a Seagate FAT+).
