Not connecting to emulator

*cough* dumbass...

(sorry, could'nt resist)

It seems appropriate at this point to share my donation to the scientific world:

Ed's Law: People are stupid
Corollary: I am people, therefore sometimes I am stupid

[zollymonsta]

..And from that ever popular movie "I see dumb people!"....

Or was it?

[samjohnson]

lol.....yes I know, it was such a stupid thing.

Ed, can u switch from using the emulator to get slices to using loadguide instead. Just thinking for worst case scenario..

cheers ears

Sure. I sometimes use loadguide just to test functionality and slice integrity.

BTW, the IP addr is going to change shortly. My host told me the move is happening RealSoonNow. Will advise when this happens. Should be able to just modify the tclient.conf file and go to town.

Great, and where are the settings for when (time/frequency) the tivo contacts the emulator? cron job?, rc.sysinit, or what?

[ehintz]

That, I don't know. The Tivo tells you in either the phone setup menu or the tivoweb phone module when it's going to call next (and when it did last), but I've never investigated the method it uses. I do believe it wants to phone home daily, though that's not a scientific observation. Some trolling 'round the tivocan, oztivo, or dealdatabase/tivocommunity lists/boards may reveal a definitive source. I've never paid too much attention, it's just part of the innards tivo inc put into the thing...

IP changed. New is 66.238.88.163. I added this to my tclient.conf file and a test call was golden. Dunno if a reboot is required, as I have to boot into NTSC to get at the phone menu, so by the time I make a test call I've already rebooted...
