Is the link light on your switch/router on for the TiVo port?
Have you tried a different port or cable? Also check the joiners if you have any as they are known to fail.
Do you have a serial cable for the TiVo?
Peter.
my daily call has been failing so I checked the forum and manually entered new IP address in case it was the DNS issue people have talked about.
Anyhow, all of a sudden I can no longer ping to the tivo. I started again from scratch and re-imaged the drive using the latest iso, I am setting a static IP but no joy.
The green light appears on the turbonet card but it would seem like it is not working because there is no IP I can ping. I have tried using DHCP to no avail also.
I am stuck! Is it a turbonet issue (even though the light seems on and there appears to be link activity).
Any help GREATLY appreciated. (otherwise it's being shipped to you Darren )

Thanks Peter for the reply. I have tried different cables and the switch sees the tivo. I have also plugged the cable directly to the card. Really strange because I could ping it before I re-imaged so. There is a green light coming off the card that is green when connected.
Unfortunately I dont have a serial cable.
Thanks CC
Could you please update your profile to say Brisbane.
You have said three times that the light on the card is on, but I have been asking if the port light on your switch/router which the other end of the cable is plugged into is on
Peter.
No it's not a loop, unless you are talking about 10-baseT which was the old coax networking of yesteryear. With UTP there is a separate pair of transmit and receive wires.
