You mean you don't have ethernet availible at the Hopper location?

It says I'm connected but when I try to access blockbuster@home I get a message telling me that I need to connect to internet

I tried hooking Ethernet up to my Joey just to see what would happen and my router is right next to it. When I check my connection on Joey it says it has a connection. I'm not able to do anything though. When going to VOD it just says I'm not connected. When I go to the Hopper it show no network connection either, which expected.

So am I S.O.L. now or is this something that its being worked on???

SOL until a fix comes. You could ask Dish what's going on. Just giving it a day or two may help. It might take care of itself. Could just be in a software update.

I have no idea. I'd wait a day or two and then maybe contact Dish.

try to reset your receiver. had the same problem and a reset fixed. I had a friend where this didn't work, waited overnight and it worked fine the next day. If you get impatient you may want to try to put your hopper in the DMZ in your router? seems like a good idea.

Tried it again this morning...was able to get to the menu but when I click on blockbuster@home it says I'm not connected...on the way to work will have to figure it out this afternoon

Isn't the preferred connection to the Hopper? And Ethernet connections to the Joey aren't supported yet.

Ethernet or Internet? This is not a subtle distinction.

Does your router report that the Hopper has an IP address?

Does your Hopper report that it has an IP address in the 192.168.x.x range?

yes everything says I'm connected until I try to go into something ..then it says I need to connect...I'll try a few things this afternoon
