    At least its working now.

    As I said,, guess I'm just special.. lol..

    Somewhere in here:

    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set flags to 10000
    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set flags to 10000
    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: Using interface ppp0
    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS3
    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set xasyncmap
    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set xmit asyncmap ffffffff
    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set flags to 10000
    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set mru to 5dc
    Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set rcv asyncmap ffffffff

    makes the difference between working and not. I'm wondering if it's that the ppp0 interface isn't quite up yet at 4 seconds where it is at 5.. Why others using serial ppp aren't having problems I certainly can't answer.. other than as I said.. lol

    Thanks again Peter for all you help.

    Cheers,
    Phred

    That is exactly what is causing it.

    I don't know why yours appears to be slower.

    What speed are you using for PPP and how long is your cable.

    57600 as per the Installer when I selected ppp. About 6m or so. When ftp'ing I see full speed (all be it slow..) of 57.6K for file transfers so the connection is running at full speed.

    If it's only a 6m cable you could easily run it at 115200. We only dropped it to 57600 to allow for long cable runs.

    If you feel like playing, change /etc/rc.d/rc.ppp on the TiVo and modem properties on the PC.

    No, you're not special, or at least - we're both special :-)

    I've just installed same release from installer CD and have the same problem.

    Have you followed the suggestions in this thread and are you still having trouble?

    Sorry to drag this back to the top but hopefully this'll be useful for others..., but I'm also (currently) on PPP network and couldn't get TivoWeb working. Telnet is OK.

    Following the instructions on this therad gets it working.


    reset the crashcount
    Copy /etc/dflt_sysinit.conf to sysinit.conf and set start Tivoweb to NO.
    Create rc.sysinit.local in /etc/rc.d:
    #start TWP
    sleep 7
    /hack/TivoWebPlus/tivoweb &

    reset the permissions (chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.local)

    Reboot... now TivoWeb works

    The trouble is the OzTiVo installer has an old version of TWP which has the crashcount issue. This should be fixed by running update oztivo after the install.

    Did you run update oztivo after the install? and was it sucessful?

    Apart from clearing the crashcount, there should be no reason to move the TWP startup to rc.sysyinit.local. Everyone I know just has the default which works fine if using a newer TWP build.

    yep did the update after install and TWP still didn't run. I had set crashcount to 0 several times and it didn't work, I believe it's the sleep that made it start to work... does TWP timeout if it doesn't get a link or an IP address?? Being PPP then the link is going to be slow coming up and then the DHCP supplied IP address also slow.

    Have now installed an TurboNZet card, got rid of the rc.sysinit.local and reenabled TWP in sysinit.conf and TWP still works.

    It is possible your PPP connection may have taken longer than most. It usually just works out of the box.

    Either way, your in a new world now with the turbonet.
