i just upgraded from the 1.5 image to the 1.6 image tonight and I now can no longer connect to my tivo through my router or using a direct ethernet connection even though the TiVo UI messages is saying the TiVo has obtained the IP address 192.168.1.250 which is what it should be!
I do not have a serial cable to attach so is there any alternatives to resetting the TiVo Turbonet card config???
Need help please....
Can not ping or telnet to 192.168.1.250????
Only 2 options, pull the drive and run the networking setup from the latest iso or serial cable.

Looks like that is what will have to be done!
Personally I'd use a serial cable. It's actually very easy to make.
See ftp://orac.caffeine.co.nz/install/tivocable.jpg
Using 9600 8-N-1
I have not tried it, but I would assume that so long as you only select the hard disk you want to work on and then go into the networking menu and don't actually select to install the image then it should not pose any hassles.Quote:

All good again now, thanks guys....
Usually that would only occur for two reasonsQuote:

PS. When using the CD installer script make sure you always select the script update feature first as there have been many updates since the ISO was made. A little late for you, but might help others following this thread.
Yep I think I assigned the MAC address to be the same as the MAC address of my wireless bridge by accident!Quote:
