I have just purchased the DPR-1260 from Tiger Direct.
I am having trouble communicating to the unit.
I have verified that UPnP is installed and running. Win xp sp3
The device does not show in 'My Network Places'
I can not ping or http connect to the unit using dlink-xxxxxx [x = last 6 of mac address] as indicated in the quick install guide. IE7
I am directly 'wire' connected from my laptop to the unit for setup. I have disconnected my wireless card. The QIG indicated that the 'router' will assign an ip address for the unit, no router in my connection for setup. I set my own ip addresses on my network. I am not allowing the gateway [router] to do dhcp service.
my settings:
192.168.1.3 pc#1 nic 192.168.1.4 pc#1 wireless 192.168.1.5 pc#2 wireless 192.168.1.10 dsl router 192.168.1.20 wireless gateway to dsl router 192.168.1.40 linksys wireless print server
[reserved 192.168.1.30 for linksys nas to be connected to the dpr-1260 {bridge}]
going to use 192.168.1.50 for the dpr-1260 when i can talk to it.
Any suggestions as to why i can not talk to the unit. Network indicating connected at 100. Power, wireless and lan connect lights on the dpr-1260.

I have not tried calling support yet. Will try them tonight if i can get time.

I suggest you allow you router to do DHCP and check the DHCP client list to see if the DPR-1260 is picking up an IP, after you access the DPR-1260 you can set an static IP address on the DPR-1260 and disable again DHCP.
Also, the first version (1.00) is not DHCP, so there's a very small chance this is the case.
Good luck.

Right now I do not have a Router in the network for setting up the DPR-1260.
I would need to wire connect to the LinkSys router/gateway to enable dhcp and then connect the 1260 to the gateway also to do the setup. Being that ATT put the [dedicated] DLS jack in the kitchen it makes doing this setup a pain. The wife gets bent out of shape with the wires.

When I connect the laptop to anything wired the wireless network stays connected - good signal - but it looses network connection - can not even ping yahoo.com. Remove wire - wireless back in business. No re-boot or logoff required. huuuuum.....
