Ethernet port active on 622!!!

[Ronald_Jeremy]

I got L441 last night.

You get into the setup for the ethernet with menu>6>1>9>.

It doesn't allow you to set up a static ip.

After hooking it up I tried to browse to it. Nothing. It doesn't respond to a ping either.

A quick port scan showed the only open port as 110.

Just thought I would let you guys know.

Haven't seen any activity of it in my router logs though.

Any word on if any wireless adapters will work?

I have the choice of either running a network cable to my home theatre, getting a wireless bridge, or getting a wireless adapter if it works.

Both of mine respond to pings.

I have a Netgear wireless game adapter hooked to mine and it has an IP address.

What happens if you open a command window and telnet to it like this

telnet ipaddress 110

It should give some kind of prompt or informational display. It is interesting they picked port 110, the port used for POP mail.

Well even though its not really active atleast its there.

Nothing. Just a blank screen and flashing cursor. Doing another scan of it and 110 is now closed. Nothing open.

And gdarwin, I checked again and it is now responding to the ping. Not sure why it wasn't before.

It can take a little time for ARP tables to be updated. This is why you will often see a high latency on the first packet; but not on subsequent packets.

If you aren't using ping -t (is it -t or -s on windoze?) you are only sending a few packets which can on occasion be iffy.

Does anyone know how to verify whether the receiver is actually calling Dish? All indications are that my 622 is online and working (light is green, have an IP address, connection test 'OK'), but I would just like to verify that Dish is getting what they need to waive my $5 charge.

My question is why is the 622 opening the POP3 port??

 

[ndyclrk]

You could buy a bunch of PPV events and then check your purchase history.

Or you could just wait a few days and see if it connects properly without the phone line plugged in.

 

[digiblur]

Can't you unplug the phone line and do the check your bill option?

Just because it's a well known port; that doesn't mean it's actually POP3 running

I know; you know this but not everyone does

It appears to only be looking for the phone line

 

[LER]

you could also run a sniffer and see what that IP address/MAC Address are spewing on the wire/wireless.

I don't think the ethernet is working on the customer service applications yet. But I may be wrong.

 

[Space Signal]

I don't have the update yet, but how long until we can surf the internet on this thing!?

No doubt... I was just going to ask if someone was going to run Ethereal to check out the traffic.

Just what I need. It's not enough that I can surf the internet on my desktop, 2 laptops, and Wii... I want more!
