Are you sure your atv has Internet access?

[kevnac]

Yes I am sure i have internet connection. But im not sure if i have to allow my router access to port 22 (the port that puTTY uses).

Looks like your DNS is not working correctly.
Resolving dl.dropbox.com. .....
Do this .... ping www.cnn.com and see if it comes back with an ip address, if not then fix the DNS in your router or look at your dhcp parameters in the router.

Called my local ISP (telus) provider to see if i could get some help with my router - they said sure for $70 to which i said no thanks. I pinged http://www.cnn.com result no host found so i know that my ATV@ is not getting an internet signal when connected to my laptop - why im not sure because when it isn't connected to my laptop i can stream netflicks with no problems. I flushed my DNS settings on my laptop as well with no improvement either. I tried to open port 22 on my router thinking that it would prob be closed - again the telus page was totally different from my actual router page (meaning - the instructions on how to open port 22 on my router Actiontec 1000H are totally different when having to use the telus login to get at the settings). I must use my laptop because if i unplug the ATV2 from the wall i have to start the restore process all over again with Itunes and then season pass. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

You don't need to open any ports on your router. That's not doing what you think it is doing. When you open that port on your router, it's opening up that port to the entire internet for anyone to access, essentially exposing your network to the world. You don't want that. Port 22 is used inside your network and accessible to all devices connected to your router without changing any settings on your router.

You need to fix DNS. Which is what takes a website in the format www.somewebsite.com and translates it to an actual usable IP address like 111.222.333.444(fake example IP). Right now, your ATV2 is trying to translate dl.dropbox.com into a usable IP, but it can't.

If the ATV is connected to the router (either wired or wireless) and you are streaming Netflix - while the movie is playing - putty into the ATV and see if you can ping www.cnn.com. Maybe I'm misunderstanding - but when you say 'connecting to my laptop' - you do mean via putty and not plugging in a physical cable?

I confirmed that it is something with my router settings. Went over to a friends place who also has telus as an internet provider. Hooked everything up and was easily able to puTTY into my Atv2 and set it up. It ran great at his house but when i hooked it up at home it seems to run alot slower. The funny thing is that I have the fastest internet that telus has and my friend the third fastest plan. Weird might have to do some testing to see if im getting what i am paying for!!
