Sling Homeplug Works! Just hooked up the homeplug, and everything appears to be working properly. The tip about avoiding the power strip is apparently true, as I was unable to connect until I plugged both homeplug and DVR directly into power outlet. Thanks, everyone! :):up

Roger on the surge protector! Thanks, Mitch. I'll keep that in mind when I am doing the installation. Les

This is the Motorola VT2442 router that Vonage sent me when I originally activated my service. The IP address is 192.168.15.1. The UN/PW is router/router. Then navigate to Setup > WAN page, and de-select the firewall option. Here's a pic...

To clarify . . . Actually, I didn't access the cable modem. I merely modified the firewall option on the router. Thanks for the feedback!

Comcast can be a cruel mistress . . . I finally heard from Comcast that, indeed, the added Linksys cable modem would require my purchasing an additional "plan". Oh, how I wish that one of their CSRs had advised me of this requirement earlier in the troubleshooting process. I ordered the...

Problem Solved! I accessed the setup area for the Motorola VT2442 (VoIP router) and disabled the firewall option. Bingo! I have remote access when the modem is connected upstairs in the office, as well as when it is relocated to the living room. Now I will see if Comcast will authorize the...

Well, I tried connecting in this order: Cable modem (original modem at original coax connection) > Motorola VT2442 "Broadband Voice Gateway" (multiple ports) > cat5 cable through the house all the way to the DVR, and still no go. I don't want to shell out the additional dough for the homeplug...

Thanks, TheKrell. What you wrote might be the case. I am going to skip the additional modem and attempt to thread a long cat5 cable all the way down the stairs and connect to the DVR. If that works, my best bet might be to spring for the homeplug setup. A chat with Dish Network just yielded the...

Thanks for the tip. I've tried going directly from the modem to the DVR. Same problem. The only router I have is the Vonage one. It sounds like you suspect it may be causing a problem. One other note is that I am connecting a second modem in the room that contains the DVR. Perhaps this hookup...

The original modem is BEFCMU10. I have moved it down into the living room (both with the router and without), reset the connection on the DVR, run the diagnostic test, etc. When I log onto Dish Network and attempt to access Dish Remote Access, the status continues to be listed as "OFFLINE".

Hello, I'm new to the forum, and I would greatly appreciate some assistance. I have broadband internet service provided by Comcast. I have been connecting via a Linksys BEFCMU10 cable modem, routed through a Vonage VOIP router. I recently upgraded my Dish Network receiver to the VIP 612 DVR. I...

I purchased an additional Linksys modem to access this service. I have connected it to my VIP 612, have reset the connection to successfully display the connected IP address, and verified through a diagnostic test. I am still unable to access from the Dish Network website. The status page keeps...
