Thanks for replying

In attempting to answer your 1st question I have created another one. I re-edited the tclient.conf and rc.sysinit.tivohack files for use with the internal modem. I also ran a command like this, dbsetx /State/DialConfig DialPrefix ' ' to null the ',#401' that was previously set. It now seems to have dumped this parameter completely and gives me an "can't open object (errDbNotFound)" message when I try to retrieve it or reset it with dbget or dbsetx. The file /devbin/dbsetx has a line that ominously reads, if {$attr == ""} {dumpobj $obj} ;# if no attrib just dump the object. Anyway to get this parameter back or is a reformatting required?

In regards to networking I am using a crossover cable and a turbonet card.
Image version is 3.0-01-1-000. I have access to Tivoweb but can't seem to start a Telnet session so I am currently using the serial cable to communicate. Output from the ifconfig line is

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

RX packets:269 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

Ouput from the route command is

route_info, afname=inet, options=33
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Under the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties I have manually configured the IP addresses but it will not let you set an 192.168.0.0 address. Although I can't ping successfully I have successfully run the wget http://131.244.9.101/index.html command so it seems the Tivo can contact the outside world.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks
