no phone line fee

[rustysung]

I just connect a RJ45 cable to my VIP622 receiver, and did a diagnostics. I get broadband and phone connection failure. Is there anything that I gotta setup with my router or something else that i gotta do.

By-pass your router. Go straight from modem to 622 and see if you still get that msg.
If your computers are working fine on your router the 622 should also.

well it depends how you set up your router.
But first if you go to menu 6 1 9 1
what do you see is there an IP address ? if you see 0.0.0.0 try network reset, if you dont get an ip address then yes you will need to set up dhcp or turn off filtering or maybe something else

Can anyone please confirm 100% that connecting the ethernet port on a 622/722 will avoid the montly phone line fee? Every time I call the idiots at dish to ask this question I get the run-around (expected I guess). All i want to do is upgrade to a 622/722 w/o montly phone fees...

More detailed searching answered my question... yes the ethernet will avoid the phone fee...

My installer told me the ethernet connection wouldn't get rid of the $5 fee - had to have phoneline connected.

He also installed legacy adapters on my old receivers w/ a DPP44.

That's why this place is great. You can usually get the right answers.

I have seen a customers bill firsthand where he had no phone line fee and his 722 was hooked up via the homeplug arrangement.

Got a 722 at my friends hooked to only the Ethernet from day 1 with no receiver fee.
