    I tried that still it did not work. It might have to do with how the system is wired. The Joeys are coming off a splitter that is fed by the client output of a tap so

    Tap
    Host----Hopper1
    Client----Splitter



    Splitter
    Output1-----Joey1
    Output2-----Joey2

    The Joeys can access Apps just fine. I have not tried OnDemand. Yet, the network settings show the red "Failed" for the broadband connectivity instead of OK, which is puzzling me.

    Problem solved.

    It was all about bridging. It was disabled by default. Now, one Hopper is connected to Ethernet; that is it. I had to enable bridging.

    I have the tech and he is replacing the antenna to DPP500+ but he is saying I still need the DP44 since the duo node only takes 3 inputs. I have international so I need all 4 Sats. Is there anyway to connect DPP500+ to duo node directly and still get all 4 Sats?

    A dish pro plus 500+ lnb has 4 ports on it. 3 are outputs, 1 is input for another orbital. You run a small jumper from the dp single to the 500+ input port. Then you run 3 wires from the 3 outputs to the duo node. The dpp500+ has the switch built inside the lnb.

    Thank you so much. Unfortunately, it was a little late. He already left. What a great forum full of knowledgeable people! By the way, he was a supervisor and he had the QC person with him and both did not know.
