Trying to use advanced settings to connect the HR-20 to my network. Using Mac and Airport Express with ethernet connected between AE and HR-20.

In my modem setup, added HR-20 MAC address to list of enabled access. rebooted.

during advanced setup, the IP to my LAN is 192.168.0.7 (within the range I've set up), subnet is default settings for HR-20 - 255.255.0.0, default gateway is 192.168.0.1 (modem's IP), and I entered the latest connected DNS (although I believe I'm dynamic) just to see what happens.

All tests pass in advanced setup, but network and internet statuses fail.

Any clues. TIA.

Do the happy lights on the HR20 ethernet port light up? One showing connect and one showing activity?

How about on the AE (I'm assuming here, cuz almost all ethernet ports these days have happy lights.)

Cheers,
Tom

no - no happiness on the HR-20 port - AE doesn't have any happy light (just a status light but i know i'm connected cuz i'm typing to you ).

Bad cable?

EDIT - trying again using Wireless initial setup, but it doesnt look like that matters (seems to only be so you can look at those little pictures )

Another thought to is the AE really is just designed for output from that ethernet port (i.e. network printing etc). Is it possible it's only set up to go one way?

What modem? Your cable or DSL modem?

Update: I do get the happy lights on the HR-20, but only momentarily and only when I'm rebooting the AE. Otherwise they stop flashing and no traffic appears.

EDIT: i read further down in the FAQ and it was revealed the ethernet port is not active when in "client mode". Unfortunately I'm in client mode. Bogus.

Thanks iacas.
I added the HR-20s MAC address to my access list on my DSL modem.

The article is like greek to me (not very network savvy). Is it saying this may not work unless you have the base station? Could you translate for me?

Thx.
