Connecting directly to a cable modem (no router)
If you are connecting ReplayTV directly to a cable modem, you need to have an addi-
tional IP address from your ISP for ReplayTV. Before setting up ReplayTV, you
should verify with your ISP that a device like ReplayTV is supported. You may need to
specify the IP address on ReplayTV. See "Entering Networking Information Manually
on ReplayTV" on page 16 for more information.

Verify that there is no special software or log on required for Internet access.
2
Verify that no settings other than the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway address, and
DNS Server address are required. (For example, some broadband connections require
that a DNS suffix be entered on your PC for Internet access to work.)
3
Check to see if your ISP requires the MAC address of devices like ReplayTV for Inter-
net connectivity. (Some ISPs require the MAC address of network devices in order to
automatically assign it an IP address. See "Determining the ReplayTV MAC (Media
Access Control) Address" on page 17.
