help needed - test call failures

**red3** · 13-05-2005, 09:09 PM

hi

im looking for help from someone a little more experienced than me - im at a loss as to why still cant make a testcall etc during guided setup.

i have a tivo series 1 with a turbonet card which i have successfully installed and appears to be working well. my pc is running xp with service pack 2 and i have ICS activated and running successfully when i switch ethernet crossover cable to a second pc running win 98se ie successfully use internet explorer on on win98 to do google search and even a download of a slice from minnie etc).

however when plug into the tivo i can do the following without trouble:
1. ping tivo and identify tivo ip address.
2. telnet with hyper terminal (tcp/ip style)
3. use this to ipconfig - successfully as per faq''s
4. confirm route - successfully as per faq's
5. ping back to pc - successfully
6. activate dial up modem on pc and establish an internet connection
7. ping o/s - successfully as per faq's
8. run wget to minnie and get "200 ok" reply - successfully as per faq's
9. confirmed with dbget that dialup prefic is #401 (implied above anyway)

however when enter maintainance mode on tivo and start guided setup hangs and fails at call 1 (ditto when using tivo web to do a test call). all this was done with nic_config_tiv0 set to "dchp" but have repeated it by putting in a static ip address (definitely with correct netmask and gateway on pc) but still fails.

has anybody had any experience with this combination? ive read various things here and on the us sites but nothing has jumped out yet?
please someone tell me im doing something embarrasingly obviously wrong

any help much much appreciated :->

cheers red
ps had tivo a while but origonally had airnet card which never got to work properly so have been manually loading slices or just using tivo in maunal mode with origonal oztivo. could go back to that by re ghosting drive but would like to move on in this hobby (if i can !!!)

Which version of the oztivo image do you have installed, and do you know if emuproxy is running.

Can you post some of your tclient log showing what is logged during the forced call.

Peter.

hi mate

sorry to be so long replying - thanks for posting a reply :->>

im pretty sure got the latest image 3.0 or 3.1

went back and reread all the faq's/posts i could find and started to think it might be a transparant proxy problem. im with tpg and a search showed one mention of them being difficult.

tried emuproxy2 but didnt do any good so tried redirect ala tim kleingeld. worked first time or i thought it did.

got a successful test call during setup using the remote and from tivoweb on my pc but still cant get past setup call 1 - it connects ok then says call failure - call interrupted (not the correct wording but you get the idea).

tivo then says no stuff to download with my setup codes 02000/002 (nsw) and i should pick another set of codes and try again. i havent found any mention of this directly but various people have reported stalling at this stage. seems strange as must be heaps of people using this combination.

anyway - i must be so close now - any ideas???

cheers red

Maybe just post the next 20 or so lines after 'May 17 05:36:08 (none) comm[148]: Using Ethernet. Not starting modem/pppd'

hi pt

sorry took so long to get back to you - work is a bitch sometimes. here's what i tried today - same response as before: FAILED/CALL INTERRUPTED. i hope it makes sense to you and you can see what is going wrong - im not experienced enough with tivo or linux to understand it :->

The first part looks ok, but the above looks like a transparent proxy issue.

I thought this would have been ok using the current beta images.

Peter

**red3** · 24-05-2005, 08:06 PM

hi again pt

that seems quite strange - so the redirect is working to bypass the transparant proxy problem in the first part but it comes back when try to actually download?

is there a fix?
has anybody else seen this problem?

can i work around it by downloading the three files required by the first part of setup myself using telnet access?

id still like to get it to work properly - if necessary i can just reghost the drive(s) but this same problem will still reappear when try to download slices during a daily call wont it? ive already been manually downloading slices and would like to move forward in some way?

hope you - or someone else? - can help more but even so have appreciated your help so far - i dont just want tv jsut to watch its actually the slow steps to learning about tivo/linux that i like as well :->

cheers red

**petestrash** · 12-06-2005, 03:08 AM

I've been away from the forums for a while, did you get this problem resolved ?

If not where are you up to.

Peter.

**red3** · 12-06-2005, 04:48 PM

hi pt

gave up - resolved issue in one sense by using a mates email account that doesnt have transparent proxy issues. ozemail does work - straight through - though havent turned off redirect as yet but i assume i dont really need it now - so will buy a casual user account from them and use it once a week to do daily call and any re-setups i need.

i dont think anybody has actually gotten tpg to work - pity but i have appreciated your help - each step is a step forward and i certainly learned a bit :->.

ive been getting around to posting a followup thread and maybe the help files will need to be ammended to include tpg as a no-no?

cheers red

**splitpin** · 18-01-2006, 08:23 PM

Hi red3
I am with TPG and have had no trouble connecting with tivo and turbonet card
I use a netcomm nb1300+4 router modem and plug tivo in and use
dhcp setting... works fine
