Tivo HDs not seeing each other on network

[moxyman]

Hey guys.

I have two TIVOHDs connected to my FIOS router via cat5 cable.
I have rebooted my router (which is open...no WEP) and redid the network setup on both TIVOs, but they still dont see each other. I have checked my account online, and both are listed, and havr checks in the boxes to share video. Im not sure what else i could do.

Any ideas on how to solve this, or what I could be missing?

Thanks!

Check your subnet IP addressing. From the router try and ping each dvr. If you can't ping, check IP addressing, then verify cabling (or vice versa). You mention WEP, which is a wireless protocol, so why is that relevant when you're connecting via Cat5 cable? If you are using Tivo wireless, best to let them use DHCP, I would avoid statically addressing them, if possible.

And also, as it relates to IP addressing, are you using DHCP or are you statically addressing your two Tivos?
