    Networking checks out OK – My Tivo hasn’t successfully called home since Monday 5 Jul

    Hi

    It (he) has tried several times during the week with no success –

    Last Attempt: Saturday 10 July at 7:29am
    Last Status: Service unavailable

    Is this to be expected with the current EPG issues etc?

    I can telnet to it and ping the outside world from it, so networking seems to be OK.

    But should I expect a PING response from minnie.tuhs.org [131.244.9.101]? I get a time out - from my host XP box which is connect to Optus cable directly.

    Also, is is possible to force a call from the

    1. Tivo GUI
    2. TivoWeb
    3. or # prompt?

    I’ve attempted to search the FAQ and forums but can’t seem to find a concise answer

    Apparently Craig is having problems on the optus cable network in Sydney (I think it's sydney). In melbourne however I have no problems.

    Minnie has all ping requests to her blocked. I don't know why this is, probably because of something outside of Warren's control.

    1. TiVo GUI - Yes ... if you are using NTSC instead of Pal mode.

    2. TiVoWeb - Yes. fire up a web browser to your tivo and click "Phone" Then you can initiate a daily call from there.

    3. bash prompt - Yes. There is a script that forces a daily call at:

    Question

    Hi Tenty

    Thank you for your reply.

    I was just reading th OZTivo Digest - 'Re: [oztivo] Bad News for Optus Customers" ->

    > Modify /etc/tclient.conf so that instead of pointing to minnie:80 (The
    > line is 127::131.244.9.101:80:: it reads
    > 127::202.63.38.134:8000:::

    Which I understand may be a [short term] workaround. Can you offer some advice here -

    I went to make a backup of the .conf file before using VI to edit, and it says it’s a read only filesystem ->

    [TiVo [p0] /etc]# cp tclient.conf tclient.confORG
    cp: cannot create regular file `tclient.confORG': Read-only file system
    [TiVo [p0] /etc]#

    I haven't used Unix for years.. do I have to chgmod the /etc directory or something to allow writing?

    I appreciate your help.

    How to fix the problem - short term

    There are a couple of ways.

    First once telnetted into your TIVO type

    RW - this sets the file system to Read Write

    When you have finished making changes type RO

    Read Only.

    You can set your tclient file as above - one of the OZTIVO volunteers (Legend Tim Kleingeld) Runs a redirect for you that will work fine.

    Longer term Warren has released an Alpha proxy for the TIVO that i am testing to see if this resolves it

    Will keep you all updated
