Ok I just recently purchased a ReplayTV and I've found a way to enable Internet sharing (it's a 5504) and commercial skip on it via a program called wirns. However I have not been able to get it to work as of yet. Here's the information that I've gathered.

Here's the contents of the Wirnerv.exe.conf file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="dbdsn" value="wirns" />
<add key="wirnsip" value="216.98.199.25" />
<add key="dnsserver" value="216.98.192.1" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Here's the contents of my shellcmds file which is in the same directory as the wirnserv executable:

regedit setval SysConfig/DefaultPlayback CommercialSkipEnabled 1
regedit setval Software/Apps/Internet InternetEnabled 1

Here are my RTV settings:

IP: 216.98.199.5
Sub: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 216.98.199.1
DNS 1: 216.98.199.25
DNS 2: 216.98.192.2 (I've tried setting to the same as 1)

Here's the output from wirn:

As you notice there's the obvious lack of the [PLUGIN] line. The ONLY plugin I have in the Plugins directory is GetShellCommands.dll which Wirn does load. I have shutoff my firewall as well while doing this task. Anybody have any ideas why this isn't working for me?
