I got the same message this morning. I tried unplugging and resetting but to no avail. I even tried resetting the router and that didnt help.

"Do not adjust your ViP receiver. We control it." It's been way tooooo long. How did that go again? We no longer have Vert and Hori controls. ;-)

No, that's from "The Outer Limits". "We will control the vertical. We will control the horizontal. ...".
Me too! Both my 622s gave me the hookup or else warning this morning (10/10/08). Both had IPs, and both could be pinged by my notebook, but both said "not connected".
This happens often, I don't think the Dish folks understand IP.

And here I was thinking this was Dish's way of extorting more $$$ to pay for the Tivo settlement. Haven't checked my 722 tonight, but was plenty pissed that I too got the "need to connect your receiver" nag screen this morning
Just replaced one of two 722s after a disk failure following a 2-hour power outage. Before activating, I tried to get everything set up but DishComm and Ethernet were not showing up despite being a direct replacement and seeing the switch to DSL showing activity. Even tried exchanging the Ethernet cables with a good green light on back of this new one.
Well I went ahead and activated it on-line (hooray, easier than a call in) and tried again. No luck until I rebooted it. Now fine. Exception: DishComm is not working to a 622 on a different UPS. Thought it worked before, how else would I have gotten its Serial Number in the setup? Oh well.
I did download a short Ovation film for a first-time test and although it was good quality, it was on the one that died.

My 722 gave me the same problems late last night (Friday early AM). Did all the usual things and no happiness. Late this afternoon I called Dish and the csr started going through the diagnostic steps and boom it was back. Very strange. What was the phone message about the new cards for the 722s coming by mail? I didn't know 722s had cards
The (remanufactured) replacement 722 receiver I got came with a card. So it seems to be coming to replace the internal cards.

one thing i could recommend on that issue is to reset your router then go to dianogstics screen on ur 722 rcvr, menu opts and select call out, i think it is menu 6-3 hope this helps
Mine is doing this today..but I added an Onkyo receiver yesterday and had everything screwed up while I unplugged and replugged everything.
Now I get all the DNS stuff..but it says "not connected" at the bottom and I'm getting those nasty "warning you are not connected" messages when I turn on my PVR.
I think I'm pointing to satellite 129. IS anyone still having this problem? I've rebooted router, 722, cable modem, etc etc and nothing seems to make a difference.
