I've run into a problem. I downloaded the zip-file with the firmware upgrade onto my laptop, but I can't see the unit's IP address. It happens to be part of the missing info in the vertical strips of the menu that are mysteriously absent. Without the IP address, I can't load the firmware I guess? I can't find anything about saving it to a CD and loading it into the DVR. Any ideas?

A felllow Devil Dog! Thank you for the help, I will try the firmware upgrade and let you all know the outcome. Thank you!

Upon power up, the prompt says "DHCP LEASE failed" It is a version 5.24. The menu, playback menu, and search menu have all been slightly scrambled. It still plays back older video, but multi screen shots have lines where they should not be. I also have the same model in a 4-channel version with a bad monitor A output. I'm technically inclined. Can I swap parts to make at least one work correctly? If not, where is a trustworthy place to repair these? Please help! Thank you.

Thank you Jasper. I am in San Jose, California. I am looking to sell this unit for $950.00 if anyone is interested.

I have a DVR that was used for three days(event recording) while I was on vacation. Yes you can watch all three days of activites of my roommates, fish, and cat upon searching video .This is a 16 camera input DVR. I have the power supply, but I do not have the box or manual. I can e-mail pictures on request. This unit is the 320 GB version. I checked the on-screen menu and the software version is 2003. I do have the box from another GE dvr that I can use to ship it but I'd prefer a local sale if anyone lives in the greater Bay Area. I realize what these are worth, but it is truly overkill for a house, so I will take the best offer. You can reach me at 408-202-6692. Thanks for your time!
