When you go to the network services settings there's two different functions that need ports and a drop down of what ports numbers the boxes will let you use.

Me too!:up
You guys understand the purpose of CE? It's to help move releases from a testing arena to the point where it can be released nationally. If you don't download, you're not helping to provide feedback and you're leaving the heavy lifting to others. Is that how you want to be known as a CE tester?

I understand what you're saying, and I would hate to create that trend because it would ruin the program, but I think if a number of people report problems with the release that affect the performance of their boxes then others need to be cautious about downloading it.
If the first 2-3 people that downloaded it report that it bricked their receiver, would you still download it?
Just sayin'....
Bricking a receiver, yep I'd take a pass, but performance you should download since some folks see problems and others don't. The bigger population reporting one way or the other helps DirecTV identify where/what the problem(s) might be. If it's that big of a PITA you can always go back to the national release.
I normally do download them all and put up with steps backwards quite often but there are just some times when it feels pointless.
For example this time around I have not seen a single positive post about the new CE. The CE from 3 weeks ago was good and made my system very responsive, then 2 weeks ago it behaved like a feral dog with laggy menu's and slow behavior then last weeks was once more a good well performing CE. Now they come out with a CE this week that might be a NR and I see nothing but complaints.
It wouldn't be so bad if there was a way to restore a previous CE so that we dl & test a CE and if its bad we could roll back to the previous CE after testing but at this time there isn't. This means if its a bad CE your stuck with it and just have to hope it will be fixed next round in a week..

Did you read http://www.satelliteguys.us/1758189-post19.html since I said this CE did improve the performance on my HR2X's, thought that was positive.
Sorry it didn't help you. What would help is if you could note if you're running in IR or RF mode and generate a diagnostic report if your receiver is network connected.
Yes i do understand the purpose of the CE. I am still testing just a week behind!:upYou guys understand the purpose of CE?

Guy's, all of you that d/l last nights CE and are saying to NOT d/l tonight, WHY ???
There is a very good possibility that D* has seen the responses from here and over there and changed the CE some so that tonight's might address some issues from last night.
That would not be unprecedented as they have ran a Saturday CE and addressed issues by Monday night on other CE issues before. It's been awhile since something like that has happened, but it DOES happen.

My HR20 -700 has been ok other than getting hung up getting the guide info last night which could have been wind & cloud related...
Boy, see what I get for not checking the CE forum during the week, I didn't even know about the thurs. release! Anyway, trying it tonight but won't get much of a chance to test as I am tired! I'll check it tomorrow.
