Well, I picked the wrong Trendnet USB adapter, I guess. I purchased a TU2-ETG (the USB2.0, Gigabit capable one) and last night I could not get an IP assigned (I assume) to my DirecTivo Series 2 (Hughes HDVR2) after doing an Instant Cake/PTVnet install. I did get the custom PTVnet screen, and the system behaved as normal otherwise. Well, the call failed, but that is because I don't have any phone line hooked up.
Does anyone believe the TU2-ETG adapter should have worked? Or has anyone got it working? And working well?
I went ahead and ordered the correct Trendnet adapter from DVRUpgrade as well as the serial cable. I figure I should do this "right". It's unfortunate I have to incur the expense. Oh well.
What a shame this didn't work right out of the gate. I have been waiting a while to get time to set this up.
Um, one other note, I downloaded the Instant Cake/PTVnet software around Early August of 2007, just to give you an idea of what version I have of the software (v6.2xxxxx; sorry I don't have the exact version).
