I have a standard Airport station, a powerbook G4 (OS 10.2) and a ReplayTV 5060.

The replayTV unit is connected to the Airport base via Ethernet. The powerbook is connected via Airport.

ReplayTV can successfully connect to the internet, and - on the unit - I can even see that it has its own IP address (10.0.1.2).

However, my powerbook does NOT recognize the replayTV (neither via "Connect to Server..." nor through the replayTV-to-Mac application "DVArchive".

How do I make my powerbook see (and connect to) the ReplayTV?

I never did. I got my replayTV a week ago. So, this is the first time I'm trying to connect it.

I did it! This is how it works.

ReplayTV gives you the possibility of changing port for inbound transfers. However, connecting your MAC to your ReplayTV has NOTHING to do with such setting.

RTV's port for inbound transfers is port 80.
That means that in your Airport Administration application, under the Port mapping tab, you have to specify that you want to send all incoming requests for port 80 to the RTV ip address.

That's the only way you can have DVArchive recognize the ReplayTV through your Airport network.

Hope this helps everyone who's having the same problem!

Good to here you've got it working I assume you've been over to the ReplayTV forum on AVS.

I've got two ReplayTV's but they have enough space for me so I never have played with DVArchive on the Mac. I did use it on the PC a little bit when it was new.

Wow! Thanks for the tip. This is great! Now is there any way to edit the commercials out of the mpeg2 files? I can't figure how to import them (and I only have an old 400mhz g3 so not a good converting machine).
