This just started a day ago. Had the unit for close to 10 years. HD is 7
years old (upgraded). Not a days worth of trouble. No changes to my
network architecture. Using Wirns, latest update.
RTV is set to a static IP. Unit was rebooting, getting to the Please
Wait and then cycling off, and back to Please Wait. Unplugged AC and
plugged back with same result.
When I unplugged the network cable from the switch (it shares a switch
with a few other components), it rebooted, took a few minutes, and
worked fine.
When I plugged the cable back in, it rebooted as before after a minute
or two. Unplugged cable from switch, and all was well.
I then connected the RTV network cable directly into the router,
bypassing the switch, but the rebooting started again. Tried a new
cable, same thing.
Any ideas? Is the network chip in the unit shot? Thanks for the help.

will request an IP EVEN IF you set it to static. This usually means the
Replay now has 2 different addresses. This can confuse it.
If you have no need for static, set it back to dynamic ("address
reservation" on the router helps too). Setting the Replay to static DOES
NOT fix the "DHCP bug".
If you need static (such as the common setup for WiRNS), be sure you use
the same IP the Replay is getting automatically.
If you can't get to the menus to make this change, try booting without
the network connected (no DHCP, so no address conflict). Note that in
some cases it could take as long as 15 minutes (DHCP timeout).

You'll never believe what it was.
I just bought a Google Nexus 7 tablet (very neat, BTW) and was syncing
it using Winamp over WiFi.
I posted my problem on the AVS forum, and within 1 hour was told there's
a conflict between RTV and that particular use of Winamp. Once I turned
the wifi syncing off on my tablet--the rebooting stopped!
Weird.
