hello...
first i just want to say thanks to everyone on this forum for all the fantastic info.
anyway, i'm desperate! i just got my new replayTV 5040 ( woohoo ) and really want to start enjoying this guy!
i cant seem to get the networking to run through my linksys router. i can assign an ip to the replaytv and get a ping... but it will timeout then pick back up then timeout again. it is trying to download data, it does make very slow progress. eventually the replaytv will report an error and tell me the connection failed.
however,
i can hook the replaytv directly to my cable modem and bam! it updates and works 100%.
i'm not quite sure what to do... all of my other devices on the same network all run perfectly. tivo, xbox, ps2, + computers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i saw that someone else on the newsgroups was having close to the same problem and basically followed all of the same steps as this, but havnt been able to come up with a solution... this is the post. i thought it might give a little more background.
i also tried another router and powering everything off with no luck
thanks for any help!!!

I used a static address through a router and it works fine. Given that your
unit is working with a direct connect I can come to the conclusion that it's
either
Some router problem
Some stale information in the routing tables
Try powering down everything router/replaytv/laptop/cable modem. Hook
the replaytv up to the router. Then power up cable modem/router/replaytv
in that order. Try connecting from the replaytv. If it does not work the
first time(assuming your still using static addresses), then give it a
couple of more trys before giving up.
If that still does not work try another router. Also check the replaytv forum
