Ethernet network connection status 'OK' but Multi-Room Status: No networked DVRs found

I've been with DirecTV for about 15 years and have always been 100% satisfied. I currently have two HR22-100 HD-DVR receivers networked through a Linksys EtherFast router. All system tests and networks tests show a good network connection on both receivers and I am able to download OnDemand content on both receivers. However, the Network Services test shows 'Unable to start Network Services (<202>)' on both receivers. I have 'Opted In' & 'Share Playlist' on both receivers and Multi-Room Status shows 'Authorized' but also shows 'No networked DVRs found' Any suggestions? Thanks

I have the same problem. Went away completely after setup separate switch
between the two Directv units. I might have to do with UDP multi-cast.
Hope this helps

I hope you don't have all the rain we have here.
I think you need (if you can) run some ethernet(cat 5) between the two
DVRs and use a cheap switch. Then both DVRs will be able to "talk to each
other"
Thanks

guys if you cannot connect to multi room

here what I found out and work great

Make sure both of your box are connect to same router/switcher however if you have multi IP address it will make thing complicate compare to share 1 ip.

Set up my without any issue and might want give it time to actually get connect to each other.

Multiple devices cannot share one IP address, each one needs a unique address within the same subnet. The subnet must be the same however, and the subnet mask must be set correctly as well.

NEED HELP?
