Need some real answers about error 22 with home networking
I just had an HR-24 high definition receiver installed and I can not hook it up to the internet. I have it directly connected to my wireless router with a cat 5 cable. An error code 22 appears. It also shows:
- IP Address is 169.254.x.x
- Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0
- OR any one of the four values is blank (the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS).
I would like to have clear instructions on how to configure my home network. I was able to access the internet with a previous DVR. I am some what tech savy and have read many of the threads on the internet concerning this but have not been able to come to a clear answer.
Thanks.

The HR24 defaults to it's built-in DECA Coax network adapter, so you after you connect an external ethernet cable you must reset the HR24 using the red button behind the front panel access card door. That should force the HR24 to switch to its external ethernet adapter.

I would like to have clear instructions on how to configure my home network.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the port of the DVR and an open port on the router. Check that the router has DHCP enabled (essential). Do a red button (inside card door) reset of the DVR. When it's booted up, do thus: Menu -> .....setup -> system setup -> network setup -> restore defaults. At this point stop and go to your router and disconnect AC power for a minute and plug it back in. When all the lights settle down, go back to the DVR and run the "connect now" command. You should get a "connected to Internet" message. Allow 24 hours for the system to download then try downloading a concert from channel 1239 as a test.
