Can't get Tivo and my PC to talk

Best I can tell, I have done everything correctly.
Latest Desktop s/w
I have gone to tivo.com and allowed transfers
I have published music and photos.
correct adapter
When I go to Tivo on my PC, and check settings I get
signal strength excellent, the network is found, and, when I check
connection, I get 'Connected.'
I have set up the IP address to the server.
Yet, when I try to get photos I get a message saying it can't fine the
server. Now what?

The port used is likely blocked in your router. If you have a firewall
router open it wide up on the LAN side.

Or perhaps you have IP and/or MAC filters enabled. I would also disable WiFi
security during initial setup, just to eliminate it as a cause. Make it as
simple as possible for connection to be established, THEN add back IP/MAC
filters, security, etc.

Well, I can go into Norton Firewall and disable it. Still can't get
Tivo to connect. Umm, just out of curiousity - what server address does
it want - router or PC (the one with the pictures)?

connects to PC IP #, assuming sharing is on, on the PC.

Don't know for sure but I know my laptop can share folders as long as
Norton Firewall is disabled.
