Ya, the lights are both on and this connection works fine with the other devices on the EQ rack.

I also checked my router settings and DHCP is set to Automatic. There is a tech forum at Direct TV, I'm looking through dozens of "can't connect" threads now. None have this particular DVR though, so I may have to post a question there with my specifics.

I'm blessed with IT/ Computer issues. If it can go wrong, it will.
