Tivo Serial Problem - Please Help!!!

[normal_kinda_guy]

hey peter.

think i found the problem.

im thinking that my tivo has a public ip instead of the private one it needs.

know how to change to private?

cyaz!

Unlikely, what is the IP address you are using to communicate with your TiVo ?

The address will be assigned by the properties of your incomming connection. Either DHCP or a range you have manually set (if manual it need at least a range of 2 IP addresses).

Double-click the "Unauthenticated User" entry in incomming connections and change to the Details tab, to see which client IP it's using.

the client ip says:
169.254.248.163

[petestrash]

And what is your server IP?

Peter.

[normal_kinda_guy]

server ip: 169.254.68.116

[petestrash]

ok,

The 169.254.x.x addresses are local address that are usually used when a DCHP server is not available.

How does your pc connect to the internet ?

Peter.

[normal_kinda_guy]

my computer connects to a Netgear WGR614 router which then connects to my cable modem.

[petestrash]

It would appear that DHCP Server is not enabled/working correctly on the netgear router.

thanks peter.

ill check if its enabled now.

when it is...will that change the server andf clients ip...or will they stay the same?

[petestrash]

They will change to whatever range you select on the router.
