Good morning
Ran the test again from rebooting TiVo (powere outage actually)
Also cleared contents of log files in TiVoweb.
Once again there were only two ep*.log files, and there was no content in ep1Response.log
Attach contents of ep1Request.log file.
Also attach the Putty log file, which I took from the Putty window.
Is this the "Port 48" log?
If not where do I find it?

many thanks

I don't know why our ep1Response.log is empty. The putty log indicates that emuproxyZA has recieved some data, so I don't know why it's not going into the response log.
I don't know what you mean by "Port 48" log.

Sorry, I can't think of what else to try at the moment.

OK I'll jump in at this point.

It may be "forgotten" over the course of this issue that the TiVo was sent to me for repairs and I upgraded the image from 1.4 to 1.6.2 via the methods described on Minnie rather than simply scrub the current 1.4 image and reimage with 1.6.2

I'm just wondering if there may be an issue with the upgrade that is causing anomalities in these tests and ultimately the issue of connection problems which may not show up under a fresh 1.6.2 install?

At everyone's approval I am prepared to express post a small 13 or 20GB test hard disk to Don freshly imaged with 1.6.2 and see if this is successful.

Don: If you can run nic_config_tivo and relay to me all your network setup information that would be good. I'm needing IP,Subnet,Gateway and MAC address information.

If people wish for me to take this path I can image tonight, post tomorrow and Don with have it (hopefully) Friday via Express Post.

Thanks Matt and Darren

Have run the test from scratch several times with the same result - no response log.

The "port 80" comment was only re re Matt's post asking for the putty log. I am not sure what "(as in port number 48) " refers to, as I run putty on port 22.

Thanks for that Darren
Will willingly try out a hard drive set up from scratch.
The info you requested from nic_config_tivo are:
IP address 192.168.1.10
MAC address 00: 0B:AD:80:14:20
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
Timing Optimal

Please let me know what testing I should do when installed,

regards

Sorry. My mistake (typo). I meant post 48 (as in post number 48 of this thread), not port 48. So yes, it was after the putty log I was after.

[Darren King]

OK done. This way comparisons can be made and a final decision from the other contributors can be assessed.

[Donaldovitch]

Thanks Darren
That will define the problem area for the group.
Will await with bated breath!

No problems.

Posted this morning via Express Post, however your area just falls outside the express network but fingers crossed regardless.

The hard drive is imaged with R1.6.2 plus the latest updates via the update_oztivo -y comand and has been set up with the networking options you provided and boots to the start of Guided Setup. I have also included a copy of 1.6.2 on CD which is the same CD I used to install the hard disk.

I guess the next step is to put it in the TiVo and see if you can connect to complete Guided Setup, tell us your results and go from there.

[Donaldovitch]

Thanks Darren
Yes, we live in one of the coastal "holes" in the delivery service industry!
Great place to live though!
Will get into it asap and advise results.

Good morning
The imaged hard drive ultimately arrived (thank you Darren), and I did a guided setup.
It all worked and I was able to connect both phonecalls, the TiVo downoaded programs, indexed and is up and running.
I guess my next step is to reimage my own harddrive and setup from scratch.
However before I do this, is there anything I can do that might contribute to the group's knowledge of this problem?
Please let me know.
Many thanks

BTW, I was unable to find an IR code that worked from the six available in setup.
I jumped the step to complete the setup and report the above results
Is there some way to enter the code for my austar box ?
The IR signal is OK, being visible to a digital camera.
