RE: Re: TiVo

I can telnet into the TiVo but only once did I manage to ftp into the TiVo
from IE but not anymore.

tail /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is not found,
if I enter "cat /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" oh boy does a lot happen
but nowhere does it tell me an IP/subnetmask....

What if I start again by removing the HDD from the TiVo and re configuring
it in a PC?

Sounds like your netmask is set right, but your gateway is wrong, or 
your ISA server is not configured to allow your Tivo's IP out onto the
net.

If you look at your PC's settings and compare them with your Tivo's 
settings you should be able to tell.
Bring up a command prompt on the PC and type ipconfig

Mine looks like this

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.5
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

Then look at your Tivo's settings.... depending on what utils you've got
on your tivo will affect how you do this....

Telnet to the Tivo
If you have tail installed, type

tail /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

Otherwise.... erm.... /me goes to lookup standard linux viewing things
I think cat should be available on the box, so type

cat /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

In the last few lines you'll see the networking setup.... mine looks 
like this

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route.tivo add default gw 192.168.0.1

This issues my Tivo with the an IP address, with the same netmask as my
desktop PC (and the rest of the LAN) and gives the tivo the gateway of 
the same as the desktop PC.

If your Tivo data is the same netmask and gateway and format of IP 
address as your desktop PC then it's probably an ISA configuration.... 
which I know f all about, sorry!
