    Ah, so DNS is not working. you are getting failures when doing host lookups. But, minnie.tuhs.org is probably in your /etc/hosts file (it is in mine).
    To summarise:
    • you can connect to a host on port 8000 if you provide the IP address.
    • You cannot connect to the same host on port 80.
    • You cannot resolve hostnames via DNS


    Can you try the following (this is the same test as before, but using ip addresses rather that host names):

    www.abc.net.au:
    Code:
    wget -v -t 1 http://202.6.74.88
    www.abc.net.au via proxy.netspace.net.au
    Code:
    http_proxy=http://210.15.254.253:8080 wget -v -t1 http://202.6.74.88
    minnie.tuhs.org via proxy.netspace.net.au
    Code:
    http_proxy=http://210.15.254.253:8080 wget -v -t1 http://131.244.9.101

    thanks,

    Now we are making some progress! It looks like your ISP is preventing access to web pages unless you go via their proxy. So, if you configure emuProxyZA to use your ISPs proxy server it *should* work. Now, I'm no expert on emuProxy, but I think the following will configure it to use your ISP proxy:

    Code:
    echo "proxyIP=210.15.254.253" >> /var/hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf
    echo "proxyPort=80" >> /var/hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf
    Now restart your TiVo and try to make a daily call

    Hey, sorry for the late reply, i've been moving house and have only just got everything set up again...

    Not sure if i've done this right, but i changed /var/hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf as below. It's still not able to make a daily call so feel free to roll eyes if i've done this wrong... Cheers.

    # emuProxyZA.conf

    Hey, sorry for the late reply, i've been moving house and have only just got everything set up again...
    I thought you'd given up! Hope the move went OK.

    The file is not quite right. Looks like you edited the file? My commands were to be run at the command prompt. They would have added 2 lines to the bottom of the file. (I've also just noticed that I gave you the wrong proxy port number it should be 8080 not 80 )

    Anyway, if you are happy editing the file, I think it should contain

    Code:
    # emuProxyZA.conf
    
    # the serverip is specified in /etc/oztivo.conf
    # any serverip specified here will be ignored
    # modify rc.sysinit.author if you wish to change the emulator address
    # serverIP=131.244.9.101
    
    forceUpdate=0
    raw=1
    
    # all recognised parameters are listed below:
    # taken from http://tivoza.nanfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=180#1268 2/7/06

    # serverIP: Guide server DNS or IP address, default: 204.176.49.2 (TiVo Inc)
    # serverPort: Guide server port, default: 80
    # localPort: emuProxyZA IP address, default: 0.0.0.0
    # localIP: emuProxyZA port, default: 8000
    # DNSconf: File containing the DNS nameserver, default: '/etc/resolv.conf'
    # proxyIP: Proxy server IP or DNS address
    # proxyPort: Proxy server port
    # proxyUser: Username for proxy authentication
    # proxyPassword: Password for proxy authentication
    # raw: 1=Raw send, don't "clean" requests to mlog.cgi or HServer.cgi, 2=Raw send without making any unspecified changes to the requests

    # urlbase: Download slices direct from server, don't go via emuProxyZA
    proxyIP=210.15.254.253
    proxyPort=8080
    After editing the file, reboot and try the daily call again. Fingers crossed

    Thanks Matt, yes the move went well - though i also now need to figure out how to get a 3 seater sofa onto the first floor - without using the stairs (at least it didn't get stuck there..)

    Have made the changes and tried the daily call, it went to 'downloading' for the first time (yay!) and has been there for the last hour... hopefully this is all a good sign...

    Sounds like you are getting somewhere, but an hour is way to long. It's only a few mb's at most that should be downloaded.

    It didn't work unfortunately.. it got stuck on downloading and the tivo was frozen. I turned it off/on and now it's saying the next scheduled call is Thursday, 1st Jan at 00:00.. and most of the log files are saying June 16 as the most recent date. Any suggestions?

    Cheers,
    Melissa.

    I tried a few more daily call attempts and this time it went through to either:
    Loading Data... 76%, 1 min
    or
    Loading Data... 98%, 1 min

    Getting closer, but just not there yet... any ideas?

    Cheers,
    Melissa.
