Directv will not connect to Westell 327W

I have just installed a wired connection between a Directv HS22 receiver and the Westell 327W router. My network has addresses in the 192.168.1.40-50 range. The default address for the receiver is 169.254.9.253 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0

I get error 22 (Not Connected) to the internet on the receiver. The Verison application screen for the router shows my two PC's on the network but not the receiver.

When I change the receiver's address to be consistant with the other IP's on my network (192.168.1.41), the application shows the receiver's address but there is still no connection. I can not ping the receiver. I can ping either PC from the other.

Directv's answer is to call the Geek squad!

Any help would be appreciated.

After a whole bunch of troubleshooting help from the folks at the DBS forum, I tracked the problem to a misswired cat 5 cable that I made. Once I correctly placed wth wires in their correct locations, all worked perfectly.

Thanks to anyone willing to look at the post and try and help.

I looked at DirecTv receivers and I don't see the HS22. Is that a typo?

You are correct, my mistake it is an HR22-100 HD DVR. Hope that gives some better information.
