I have windows XP SP2. I have the windows firewall turned off like everyone says. I have the linksys 4 port router.


It locates my replay just fine and I can set up a few download tasks. It usually completes the first one just fine then all of a sudden an error message is displayed about it cant find the replay. Also the internet on my computer is now gone.


Even a reboot of the cable modem and router does nothing. Once I simply restart my computer everything is back to normal.



I changed the download speed. I set it to 0 at first. The replay was off and was not recording. I figured maybe it was too fast so I tried 300. Still the same problem.

Download speed only really effects the Replay and not the pc. Your replay will have problems like rebooting if you have your speed too high.

Dave,


This definitely sounds like a problem with your PC, not DVA or the RTV.


I would do two things...


1. Update the firmware in your Linksys router.

2. Update the drivers for your network card.


Also, if you have a cheapo network card, invest in a better card.

I have onboard nic. Asus a7v8x-x motherboard.



I am having trouble getting the firmware to install with the linksys router. It is unable to 'flash rom' Im getting right off their support site.

Phone Linksys on their toll-free line- they have excellent 24 free support

Which method are you using to update the firmware?


You could use the web-based utility...but I would suggest using the TFTP program that is included in the firmware zip file.

I got the firmware updated now. I was using version 3 firmware instead of version 1 which I have. Still the same problems. The internet dies after about 30 minutes of downloading.

I have the exact same motherboard as you. What version is your network card driver? Mine is a VIA Rhine version 3.38.0.423 9/3/2004.

It is almost certainly a network card problem. It possible it's the router, but unlikely.


I suggest you get on eBay and find a 3com 3C905B. They are old cards and go for about $5, but they always work flawlessly. I have five 3C905Bs on my network. They never fail me; always zero transmission errors. The last one I bought cost me $3.50 shipped. There's one closing in two hours for $1.00 plus shipping.
