I had my TiVo working in the States via the same set-up except that I had a cable modem. Now I'm in Germany and I'm trying to do the initial set-up and I keep getting stuck on the network page. Without getting past this page, I can't even watch live TV through the TiVo and have to completely disconnect everything.
Here's what I've got:
Linksys Wireless-G Broad Band Router WKPC54G T-Mobile Speedport 201 modem TiVo Brand AG0100 TiVo Series 2 DT PC connects to router through network cable (username/password) 2x Laptops connect wirelessly (username/password) iPhone connects wireless (username/password ONLY for network)
Windows XP (SP3) on PC and both laptops
ISP (TKS-net, German version of T-mobile "Deutche Telekom") Broadband DSL server requires username and password ISP does not require a DHCP Server ID
No firewall on Linksys
WEP enabled (but looks like a good connection) and I've tried entering the key in both formats (toggle via "info" button) doesn't seem to matter.
Signal strength 84-100% but most recently, I've got it sitting right next to the router for a 100% signal strength on all tries.
Even when I plug a network cable from the TiVo directly to the Linksys, I get an N13 error. Plugging directly into the modem results in an unresolvable error.
Based on what I've been reading in these and other forums, I finally figured out that I needed to set my Linksys router to PPPoE and to give it my TKS username and password. On the Linksys status page, it says 'connected' but my laptops still require that I connect via the TKS connection with username and password and not just connect to my home network. When I try to setup the TiVo, I get to the "Does your DHCP erver require a DHCP Server ID?" I answer No and eventually get an error N13.
Obvioulsy when I select "disabled" for the Linksys option regarding Local DHCP Server, I get an N02 (No DHCP Server) error.
Firewall ports opened on Desktop and on ISP connection on computer and the ISP says that they don't have any of the ports in the firewall closed.
I thought I needed to convert the Speedport 201 to a bridge to make the PPPoE connection on the router work, but according to the ISP, who supplied the Speedport 201, it is just a simple modem and doesn't need to be converted to a bridge.
I thought I had tried everything but I am still stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have contacted the TiVo help chat and my ISP help line multiple times but neither can help me resolve. My Linksys is so hold, they don't even support it anymore!
Where am I going wrong?
