Linksys Media Extender suddenly stopped working, Cisco did pull the plug?

Tim Stevens sent November 6th 2010 9: 46 AM Linksys Media Extenders suddenly stop working, did Cisco pull the plug?: was halcyon summer of 2009. Has been established for the Hubble Space Telescope, Helio Castroneves won Indy 500, Somali pirates were really doing their thing and Linksys decided it was time to pull the plug, DMA2100 and DMA2200 Media Center Extender. The production was ceased and that was that ... or so we thought. Now we are hearing reports that dozens of those extensions mysteriously stopped working in recent days, and in fact a above threads with the green button is full of hundreds rightly disgruntled users. Thanks to a lot of inquiries from members was determined that the boxes are trying to compose in house to an address that no longer exists. Of course this is causing wild speculation on DRM controls and Windows remotely disabled, but for now there are some add-ons manual work, including router configuration to explicitly block any traffic from the extension or simply assign a bad gateway. This seems to work for many, but not for everyone. We reached to get official word from Cisco on what is here, but until we hear back feel free to post more enticing conspiracy theories in the comments below.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this]
