Philips: no network when IDE interface is plugged in

[JOCKYW2001]

See subject. Please help!

I'm using a Philips with latest JtG image.
HDD is recognized.

If I unplug the interface the network works fine.

Recording is not an issue anymore, but why does the network interface not work?

Anyone else with that problem?

post a log
what is with ip settings (ifconfig)

Solved ...

The network is started after probing the IDE interface. Probing takes a long time if the HDD is powered off. So the ethernet is not responding for a long time and in this period I was trying to telnet into the box

Everything works fine now. Thx to all who contributed to the IDE2 interface. Wonderful accessory!

EDIT:
After putting the dbox back in the bedroom I found out that the no network problem is actually caused by the HDD power supply. My dbox is connected to a Netgear XE104 powerline ethernet switch. As soon as I connect the HDD power supply to the same powerstrip where the Netgear is plugged in, the powerline ethernet connection breaks down. The solution was to plug the HDD power supply in another wallsocket. Ah well ...

Apparently the HDD power supply pollutes my electricity network so heavily that my powerline LAN breaks down. Are there filters for sale in e.g. Conrad?

I'm also using powerline LAN adapters...got similar problems!
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't find each other...I'm thinking of replacing them by these ultrathin fiber cables (=real network)

By the way...filters didn't help!

Yeah, I just drilled a 14mm hole in the wall and connected a 10m ethernet cable. Problem solved

That's the real powerline!
