Perhaps I was less than precise, DVArchive, could care less what browser
you use (it is not affected at all by what browser) but Myreplaytv.com,
the web site you can go to to tell your replay what you want recorded
(tomorrow) so it picks up the request at it's daily network login....
That is the site that reqires MSIE, It won't work with FireFox or
Mozilla. A couple of us have tried it, you can not schedule shows to
record as the drop down menu on that web site does not work

Has nothing to do with DVA though, which is a program running on YOUR
computer. This is a remote site operated by the folks who bring us
Replay TV. Complaints have been lodged with the webmaster.

Fully agree on both counts.... The Replay is much nicer, but it has a
bit of a problme when you want to record 2 or 3 or more shows at the
same time... Which is why I have the ATI:TV-Wonder card, and the new
WIN-Tv card, and a VCR or 3 in reserve.

You obviously know as much about Replay as you do networking a Mac. LOL

You're a tough nut to crack, Mark, just won't take no for an answer. <grin>

You mention that a Replay formerly was not able to connect solely thru an
ethernet connection and that gives me pause. When I first got the Replay
several years ago, I though I was able to do exactly that but I may have
been mistaken in that I was on-line as well.

As my network is set up now, I can't connect via ethernet to anything and
be online via my wireless network at the same time. It's either or. So
perhaps I haven't been able to connect directly because I'm not online.

Looking at my Airport router settings there's a checkbox for "Enabling DHCP
server on Ethernet" So what the heck I checked it. . . (Hey, I can ping the
Replay. Yippee) Tried setting the ethernet on DHCP and the Replay to
automatically find an IP and guess what, it didn't work. . .

Ah ha, there's a PPPoE setting for the ethernet, let's try that. . . Well
that didn't work either. . .

What the heck, let's plug in a wireless bridge, maybe the ethernet DHCP did
something. Nope, neither box will get an automatic net setting. Can't ping
to 192.168.0.100 like I did with the ethernet cable. That's all folks. . .

Thanks, John, that's not the issue, I can't get a network connection to the
Replay, so the software is a moot point. . .

Tony, my email address is below if you'd like to make any more funny

If you are using a router.. Enable DCHP on the router, DO NOT enable
PPoE on the replay, If the router is connected to a DSL modem then the
Router does all the PPoE work you will have to tell the router your user
name and password and to use PPoE. But the Replay (And any computers
plugged into the router) simply use TCP/IP, no PPoE

If you are using a cable modem... Then you do not use PPoE at all,
anywhere (I administer one of each)

Describe your network... Here is mine

Modem---- SpeedStream DSL To Router

Router D-Link DI-514 to computers

Computers, 1: Replay 5504, IP address 192.168.0.100 (Set static in DCHP
on the router)

Laptop.... Ip address ends in 101

Main (Windows xp) IP address ends in 102

Linux Ip address ends in 103

I can not see the linux machine with the windows boxes or the other way
around however I can ping it, and I can ping the replay from any machine

Now, all computers have DVArchive and DVArchive can see the Replay, move
shows from it, remote control it, and otherwise play with it.

The Replay can see the modem and use it to "call home" for listing and
other updates (So can the computers)

PPoE is set up on the D-Link, I removed PPoE drivers from all computers
save the Linux (never enabled on it) since it's not needed.

Laptop also logs in wireless if I wish, (different IP address)

I use Mac Address filters and static DCHP for all devices, this is my
option however


One word of caution.. If using a router, and Belkin cables DO NOT USE A
YELLOW CABLE (other makers may color code differently) Red, Blue, Black
, White, Green, all ok, but DO NOT USE YELLOW

Belkin uses YELLOW to indicate the cable is a crossover cable (Would be
used to connect two computers direct to each other without a Router or
switch)

I never said that. That works fine, as long as you have an internet
connection on the network. I have had a 5080 for almost 2 years and it
has NEVER had a phone connection (I use cable internet).

What I said was that it couldn't connect thru an ethernet connection
AND use dial-up at the same time.

I don't know much about wireless, but I know enough to know that it
involves a LARGE amount of additional complexity. Get your Replay
working with a wired ethernet connection, THEN add wireless if you
want to.
