I have just connected my TM box to the computer via ethernet cable But when I go into the system I cannot get an IP address. Can anyone please help.

you must connect your receiver to your router via your ethernet cable!

if you connect straight to the computer without a router. You have to use an Ethernet crossover cable:

and manual assign the IP address (same range of your computer)
subnet mask same range of your computer (255.255.255.0 / 255.255.0.0 / 255.0.0.0)
you can do this in the System Settings > IP Settings
when connected to a router with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol on, just press the ● on the remote otherwise select each field and just type in the digits from the remote.

Thank you for your help. I'm 72 yrs old and I get confused with most of the technical jargon. When I go into systems and then IP no Ip address appears. I have pressed the red scan button and nothing happens. I am stuck.

your not stuck, the problem is with your Netgear router settings. things to look for in the router manual: automatic assigning IP adresses, access filtering in the Router: who can/can't have access in the network? done by either IP filtering/ MAC. See network security
Are you running windows (XP/Vista/Windows 7) on your computer? Do you know where to find your IP address on your computer: my network locations: show network connections: properties of your lan.
