As of today, after three days of failing to connect, I can again connect to the internet on all receivers. However, I did not make any changes to my router configuration or home network. Data submitted with comments ...
This fact points out yet another time that something outside the software have an effect on the "system."Drew2k said:As of today, after three days of failing to connect, I can again connect to the internet on all receivers.

We joke all the time at work that if we just wait long enough, issues will resolve themselves. Looks like that works at home, too!Doug Brott said:Thanks Drew .. There are some other folks claiming success now as well, so it appears that things are at least heading in the right direction![]()
pinging may not work depending on the firewall settings of that server. Glad to hear that things "fixed" themselves as that is always a good sign. Thanks for the input.DarinC said:I filled in the survey, but the problem "fixed itself" last night. So I don't know if all the tests I did from my PC would have worked when the problem existed. Even now, however, I can't ping the address they ask you to ping. I can resolve it, but not ping it. I did put in the note about connectivity currently working, but being broken before last night.
I couldn't ping that server either, but the name did resolve to an IP address. Everything else is working though ...DarinC said:I filled in the survey, but the problem "fixed itself" last night.

It looks like my problem may be "fixed" also. I turned on my set at 5:30 AM EDST, went to Setup-Network-Test Connection and it reported back Connected.

Amazing? Not really. Someone at Directv probably rebooted something on their end. That really is the only way computer/network things fix themselves.oldengineer said:It looks like my problem may be "fixed" also.

Suddenly yesterday afternoon when I just decided to see if anything had changed, I can now connect on my HR21-700, and get to media share. Previously, I would get the error 22, even though I was connected to the network.Doug Brott said:Thanks Drew ..
