Cannot connect to DirectTivo via Serial or network

[phillyb111]

I used the zipper on my direct tivo hughes dvr-40. Everything went smooth and perfect except even though i set the ip address and router ip, I cannot ping or telnet to that IP. I used the TRENDnet TU2-ET100 network card as recommended. Tutorials said to then connect through serial, I connected the serial cable to my pc, used hyperterminal with the correct settings(as far as i know) and did not see any connectivity.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
