[Cerowrt-devel] DirecTV Video-on-demand broken

[R.]

Hi Jim,

I had trouble with an ATA device not always finding the right path to
the net, and after much head-scratching it turns out that issuing this
command on boot-up (in rc.local) fixed my issue:

/etc/init.d/firewall restart;

Give that a shot?
