This is a bit of a last resort... I've tried everything and one...
I cannot get my new 5040 to see my home network and broadband connection. Frankly, if I have to go dial up, I just don't think this box is worth it, so this is pretty critical.
I'm using a pretty simple setup with a LinkSys BEFSR41 router ... everything (cable modem, PC, and the Replay) are connected to that.
When the replay starts to setup it is unable to find my router and the DHCP server (which I know is turned on). When I try to enter a static IP address from the next in the DHCP range... no good. I've been all over the SB site regarding the entries you need to make for proper IP config. The only thing I haven't done is open up all the ports needed for interenet sharing because a) I don't have an IP address for the RTV yet and b) it just seemed like I should get this thing activated first.
I've added devices in the past, like my Audiotron from TurtleBeach, that find my router and get an IP from the DHCP there no problem (in fact... that's how I tested the cable I'm using for the RTV).
Anyone have any thoughts or experience this as well??
Also, will I have to use a static IP to file share in the future? IF so, is this possible, given that my cable ISP (optimum online) only gives you one IP address? How can I use static then??
