Some help please.
I did the CE. it did a download but it currently has 0x4086
I do not see the "Miscellaneous Options"

After the CE is done, what do I do to hook up the wireless adapter to hook it up to my home wireless network?

Then, I hope to be able to MRV from the HR-22 box.

Please help. I searched but cannot find clear answers.

Thanks

Franko - if your version is 4086 I'm guessing you didn't successfully download the CE.

Try reading over the how-to in this thread. You can try the download again tonight at 11pm ET.

Thanks for the link. Doh! I didn't read it well and thought the downloads were automatic. Instead, we have to force them... just as stated.

I did the download on my 2 boxes last night.
The HR-22 is connected to the home network.
The H-23 is my headache.
After the CE download, I can now see the options menu and the network options. I still cannot get that box on my network using a wireless adapter.
I have the linksys WGA54G.

Any other tips to make this work?
I ran the config on the device
now connected it to the h 23 box.
when I do the connect now,
I get:
IP - ok
subnet mask - OK
default gateway - OK
DNS - OK
Network - Connected
Internet - not connected to the internet (22)

Any ideas?

BTW, scrolling thru the channels guide is a LOT faster now.

I got it to work. It's a problem with my wep settings.
If I remove wep from the router, the game adapter connects fine.
I now need to look into that to get wep back on.

Sounds like the WEP key isnt the same as the one on the router.

The keys were the same.
It seems every time I make a change on the wireless adapter, I have to
unplug it and plug it back on. weird but working now with WEP enabled.

hey darren, remember my comment was referring to the H21 not the HR21.
the HR21 ce from last friday was not bad though.
