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.
