Thread: Daily call failed since swapping to optus

  1. #21
    Anybody have any suggestions? Exetel haven't responded (what a surprise) and I don't really want to junk my two tivos after all these years of using them..

    Can someone point me to where in the code the download happens? As (surely) given the manual download works, can't I just change the script to do something like that? Or is it failing in the bit where it has to figure out WHICH file to download? - yep, I figure it isn't going to be that simple...

    And I suspect the 'transparent' proxy is the 10.0.1.1 in the tracert.

    I don't have any experience in disassembling tivoapp which controls the download. perhaps you should try @ dealdatabase.com instead.


    If you suspect 10.0.1.1 being the proxy. then add the following line to /hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf

    proxyIP=10.0.1.1

    Reboot and force another call.

    Just tried that, call still failed... I'm in a brand new 12 month contract with Exetel, so am stuck....

    Should I try every tcpip address that comes up in the tracert in the proxyIP field?

    You can try it.

    But being a "transparent" proxy the actual IP may not show in tcpip.

    We still do not have a sure fire way of unmasking transparent proxies.

    Does ntpdate -v -b 132.163.4.103 work for you?

    Yep, it worked ie -

    [TiVo [p0] ~]# ntpdate -v -b 132.163.4.103
    oztivo ntpdate $Revision: 1.21 $
    Our postcode is 03000. Found matching timezone Australia/Melbourne
    Offset 39600 for timezone EST, daylight saving is 1
    Connecting to time server 132.163.4.103
    Setting the local time to Sun Feb 17 15:43:34 2008
    [TiVo [p0] ~]#
    And that is the correct post code and date/time.

    Thoughts?

    Just checking, some people also have the ntp call blocked.

    But you are ok.

    One thought I've had is to point the tivo at an external proxy server. Not much point running one on my PC (as it then will go through the same path), but I'm currently looking around the web for an open one.. Then I'll give it a go..

    Do you think that's a good idea? Can I just add it as proxyIP= ?

    Ian

    I just tried it, and when I tried the phone function came back pretty quickly with a "Failed. Service unavailable", so I suspect 1) it isn't using the external proxy, or 2) the external proxy isn't working , or 3) the external proxy doesn't like the request...

    I don't think it would make much difference, because the call is still going through port 80, so will still be stopped by the exetel/optus proxy.

    I just tried a different proxy - you never know, exetels proxy might only doing certain things and might not always be 'on' - and it worked! Data came down, and I'm currently 62% through Loading Data!

    So maybe this approach will help other people.. I agree it might not last, but at least it's something.

    I've been corresponding with exetel again today, hopefully a better solution soon.. Given that using an external proxy fixed it, you'd agree that it's definitely a proxy issue?

    Yes, but it may be Optus's not Exetels.
