Could be a bad adapter if it isn't even being seen some of the time. Make sure the cable is seated fully in the adapter and the TiVo. The adapter should show up right away. Also try rebooting the TiVo just in case something is wedged. > 2. If it gets past that, it'll tell me the password is entered wrong, > It's not! I did that also, even changed the router password to see if If it is WPA-PSK it is probably a long passphrase. As long as the TiVo can see the network it should just take entering the WPA passphrase. > 3. Can't get ip from DHCP. I have DHCP set up and all machines on the > network are happily receiving an ip. This is probably a red herring. It can spit out this error when the network encryption key is wrong. It tries to connect to the DHCP server and fails because it isn't using the correct key. I've received this when I've fat fingered my key. > I also tried assigning the tivo a static IP, and making sure that the > MAC address of the tivo was specifically assigned in the router as one > that can access the network.

They see each other, they just don't talk. -MZ -- <URL:mailto:megazoneatmegazone.org> Gweep, Discordian, Author, Engineer, me.
