    Check that there are not disk error in the logs.

    Try putting the Tivo in standby so it's not recording (Green led off)

    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

    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?
    Mine looks like this:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# ifconfig
    lo Link encap:Local Loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
    UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
    RX packets:7552 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:7552 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0

    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:AD:10:10:10
    inet addr:192.168.0.40 Bcast:192.168.12.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:3944562 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:6470827 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
    Interrupt:29

    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 ??

    TiVo [p0] ~]# ifconfig
    lo Link encap:Local Loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
    UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0

    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:AD:29:60:52
    inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:386 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:93 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
    Interrupt:29

    No, it just means mine has been running for a while.
    All the other values are 0 which is good.

    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.
