A while back, in preparation for the upcoming remote DVR scheduling via Dish Online, I got the necessary Homeplug devices and hooked up my 622 per the steps outlined below:
  1. Using the receiver’s remote control, press 1. MENU, select [FONT=Trebuchet MS,Trebuchet MS]System Setup[/FONT], [FONT=Trebuchet MS,Trebuchet MS]Installation[/FONT], [FONT=Trebuchet MS,Trebuchet MS]Broadband Setup[/FONT], then [FONT=Trebuchet MS,Trebuchet MS]Web Activation[/FONT].
  2. Using the remote control’s alphanumeric keypad, enter a Receiver Nickname.
  3. Select Activate to connect your receiver to your DishONLINE.com account.
That worked just fine, picked up the IP and everything.

But, out of curiousity, I went in and checked recently if it was still set up properly, and didn't look like there was a connection, and in fact the "Web Activation" option wasn't even present any longer!

There was a 'reset connection' button that I hit, but it failed to do anything.

Was there some software update that took away the Web Activation option? And if so, I guess it'll be replaced with something else once they implement Online DVR Scheduling? Or does my 622/Broadband setup have other issues??
 
After Broadband Setup, there should two options: Network Setup and Cancel. Choose Network Setup and then you should see the internet and MAC info on the left and three buttons on the right for Reset Connection, Done, and Help. On the left it should say "Connection Status:" and whether connected or not. If connected, you're good to go. If not connected, log into your router and see if the router shows the receiver connected. If not reboot the router and check again. If still no go, unplug the receiver and wait a few minutes before plugging back in. Check the receiver status again.
