Up until last week I had all of my PC's & RTV4040 connected together via a Linksys router.
Then I needed another network connection in the same room as the RTV(I ran 50ft of CAT5 from RTV to router), so I decided to put a hub there. Of course I forgot that I sold my hub, so I had to use a spare dlink Internet router/switch. The replay has been successfully connecting to get guide data since I installed the switch(and forced a successfull connection), but DVArchive no longer automatically detects it. I can ping it from my PC. I can also manually connect via DVArchive, but downloads either don't start at all, or proceed at about 5k.
Um...why? I'm sure I'll kick myself for not figuring this out myself, and I'm going to end up buying a cheap hub anyway but I'd like to know.
