Thread: Daily call failed since swapping to optus

  1. #1

    Daily call failed since swapping to optus

    I've been running two tivos for years, with no problems.

    But a week ago I swaped from adsl1 (exetel) to adsl2 (exetel) - which is provided by optus.

    Daily calls haven't worked since..

    First thing I did was follow http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/vie...entProxyServer and test for a proxy server.

    However, both
    http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test
    and
    http://www.lagado.com/tools/cache-test

    didn't think there was a proxy

    and

    C:\tracetcp ftp.monash.edu.au:ftp
    C:\tracetcp ftp.monash.edu.au:http

    also didn't think there was ie

    Code:
    >tracetcp ftp.monash.edu.au:ftp
    
    Tracing route to 130.194.11.222 [ringtail.its.monash.edu.au] on port 21

    Trace Complete.

    I've been reading MelissaH 's long posts (and her new one) and have tried a fair bit of that, ie -

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# netstat -atn
    Active Internet connections (including servers)
    Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

    tcp        0    132 192.168.34.1:23         192.168.34.139:1480     ESTABLISHED

    [TiVo [p0] ~]#
    I can wget as well ie

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# wget  -v http://minnie.tuhs.org  -O direct_test.html
    --21:25:43--  http://minnie.tuhs.org/
               => `direct_test.html'
    Resolving minnie.tuhs.org... done.

    Last-modified header invalid -- time-stamp ignored.
    21:25:44 (0.00 GB/s) - `direct_test.html' saved [7388/7388]
    
    [TiVo [p0] ~]#
    Though I am getting invalid time stamps.

    But the local hosts one is failing ie

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# wget  -v http://localhost:8000  -O proxy_test.html
    --21:29:20--  http://localhost:8000/
               => `proxy_test.html'
    Resolving localhost... done.
    Connecting to localhost[127.0.0.1]:8000... connected.
    HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
    - and didn't come back.

    DNS is NOT working - its getting minnie out of cache, but nothing else ie

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# wget -v -t 1 http://www.abc.com.au
    --21:31:46--  http://www.abc.com.au/
               => `index.html.1'
    Resolving www.abc.com.au... failed: Host not found.
    [TiVo [p0] ~]#

    Thoughts anyone? The tivo's have been running for years, so it's got to be something to do with the isp... Though I did change one thing locally, my home network used to be 10.0.* is now 192.168.* as exetel are putting a 10.0.* in their route (!) and I change mine just to make sure that wasn't causing the problem (tivo's picked it up fine, and I can telnet to them , and use tivoweb).

    What does 'route' show?

    do you know what software version you are using? the newer releases are better able to cope with these sorts of issues automatically.

    Peter.

    Hi Peter

    From /etc/oztivo_version - "1.6.2-20070128" which I think is the latest.

    This is doing a route on the tivo -

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# traceroute -n 131.244.9.101
    traceroute to 131.244.9.101 (131.244.9.101), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

    Can you just try 'route' on the TiVo, not traceroute.

    also clear tclient.log and force a daily call, then post the results here.

    route -

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# route
    route_info, afname=inet, options=33
    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
    192.168.34.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     32767  0        0 eth0
    default         192.168.34.138  0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
    [TiVo [p0] ~]#
    192.168.34.138 IS my adsl router.

    With the tclient.log - I found a tclient file (no .log) in /var/log, is that the one you mean?

    If so, blanking it and running a 'phone now' from tiviweb resulted in there being nothing in the file...

    And a manual wget works OK ie

    Code:
    wget http://131.244.9.101/tivo-static/listings/VI03001_13913-13927.slice.gz
    returns the slice file..

    route is fine.

    I have never seen an empty tclient log file, after forcing a daily call. what was the status shown in TiVoWebPlus?

    I think your main issue may be DNS resolution. Try the wget again using minnie.tuhs.org instead.

    Ian,

    Have you had any PC issues since since swapping to ADSL2? or is it only the TiVo that is having issues.

    Peter.

    So the file I should be looking in is /var/log/tclient ? Yep, empty.

    From tivoweb, it gets up to 'connecting...' and will eventually time out and say failed.

    DNS is definitely down (which I mentioned in my first post), but it obviously has the address for minnie.tuhs.org saved ie

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] /tmp]# wget http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-static/listings/VI03001_13913-13927.slice.gz
    --09:47:23--  http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-static/listings/VI03001_13913-13927.slice.gz
               => `VI03001_13913-13927.slice.gz.2'
    Resolving minnie.tuhs.org... done.
    Connecting to minnie.tuhs.org[131.244.9.101]:80... connected.
    HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
    Length: 79,928 [text/plain]
    
     0% [                                     ] 79,928         0.00G/s    ETA 00:00
    
    Last-modified header invalid -- time-stamp ignored.
    09:47:27 (0.00 GB/s) - `VI03001_13913-13927.slice.gz.2' saved [79928/79928]
    
    [TiVo [p0] /tmp]#
    As for other adsl issues, I've had trouble with my VPN to work - though I suspect it is at the work end as the server is stuffed.. And it has worked since I swapped, it just keeps on dying.. The work server is being replaced soon, so hopefully that will be fixed.

    Apart from that, just the tivo stopping to download..

    And thanks a lot for the help!

    I'm a bit miffed, TiVo should be writing to /var/log/tclient each time you try a daily call. I've never seen an empty tclient.

    tclient is the log we rely on to troubleshoot daily call issues.

    not sure where to go from here.

    Peter.
