See if your new router has a admin web page that you can connect to. (eg http://192.168.0.1 ) <-- check your router's manual for its default IP.
if so, see if there is a log or dhcp server status to see what devices have successfully received an IP address from the router.
eg. Your PC will be one IP and hopefully the tivo will be the other.
Assume your setup is like this (sorry for basic drawing):
Router (with inbuilt switch) -----> PC
|
|
-----> tivo
Make sure your IP settings on the tivo (via serial) is set to dhcp (I remember one post earlier i recommended to you to change it to static IP).
If you still are not getting an IP address it might be an idea to re-image the hard disk of the tivo since you've probably tried all sorts of things since you created that to get it going. Starting afresh might be one option. (My Tivo got a dhcp assigned IP after a fresh image copy). Make sure you you have a link light on the router for the tivo's network cable etc...
Good luck.
