Hey Guys at my wits end here , I cant get any Recorded programs to finish transferring to my PC , Ive tried Ty Tools , Ty Server , TWP , changed my NIC to Failsafe , they start to transfer over fine , but get to a certain point and stop responding ,which stops access to the Tivo on the network , and I have to reboot to get access again , any Suggestions ?? , Its a Phillips Series one , with 250gb HDD thanks
Check that there are not disk error in the logs.Quote:

If using mfs_ftp make sure you are using a really dumb ftp client with only 1 allowed connection at a time.
Having 2 connections to the mfs_ftp server usually kills it.
Doesnt appear to be any Disk errors in the logs , also tried in stand by mode , still locks up , ive even tried mfs_ftp now , same problem it starts to Download ,but then the network access to the Tivo locks up , and i have to reboot , everything else still works fine , just no network access its driving me nuts :mad::mad::(
It could be your network card/cabling is faulty. If you do an ifconfig is the count for errors,dropped,overruns etc all 0's for eth0?Quote:

You could try this test:
ping -c 5000 -f -s 1500 192.168.0.1
where 192.168.0.1 is your PC or router.
This does a flood ping (ie ping as fast as it can)
With 1500 byte packets
And 5000 Packets.
It that kills it I would say it's an issue with the actual tivo network, not any apps.
thanks wibble this is what i get , my Rx Tx Packets are a lot lower than yours is that an issue ??

No, it just means mine has been running for a while.:)Quote:

You might want to try the ifconfig after the ping and see if any error crop up.
The only other thing I can think of is to connect the serial cable and when the networking misbehaves to have a look at what ifconfig says and what's in the logs.
