Hi John,
Here's something else to try. I use Verizon FIOS as my ISP but they
all use PPoE and my Replays stopped working after the switch. Mark is
right in assuming that your D-Link router will have the default address
of 192.168.0.1. It will also have a default username/password which
I'll give you if you'll e-mail me directly (for your protection). What
you'll want to do here just to take all of the factors out of the
equation is to specify your IP address on your ReplayTV. This is
accomplished through Menu-->Setup-->Network Settings-->Change to
Manual. Specify any IP address starting with 192.168.0, such as
192.168.0.100. Chances are, you previously had an IP address for the
Replay starting with 192.168.1. This would cause the problem you are
mentioning. Anyhow, unless you can log into your router (type
192.168.0.1 in your web browser) then you are dead-in-the-water. Let
me know how it goes!
