I have a Linksys Wireless B USB Adapter for my Series 2 Tivo (130) that has worked fine for the last 3 years or so. I have usu. connected the adapter to my Wirelss B/G Router with no problems. Recently, I got rid of my router and enabled Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on my desktop and connected all my devices to ICS.
I am having problems getting my Tivo to connect to ICS, it says it cannot connect to the DHCP server. I can see the wireless ad-hoc SSID from my Tivo, but cannot connect for some reason even though I can on my other devices. The desktop running ICS has a Wireless B/G PCI adapter card that I use to broadcast the ad-hoc network.
Could the issue be related to the fact that my Tivo wireless Adapter is B, while my desktop is broadcasting ICS wirelessly on a B/G wireless card? Would getting a G adapter for my Tivo solve the problem or is there something I can configure on the desktop to get my Tivo to connect?
I tried having the Tivo automatically acquire IP, static IP setup, and DHCP setup. The ad-hoc SSID uses WEP encryption.
Your help is much appreciated.
