Easiest way is to use rc.sysinit.author.

****Mount as Read/Write****

*mount -o remount,rw / [Enter]*

****Write command to file****

echo /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/tivoweb >> /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author
[Enter]
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author [Enter]

****Mount as Read Only****

*mount -o remount,ro / [Enter]
sync [Enter]

The TurboNet upgrade CD should have sorted that out for you. Do you 
remember the IP config commands I asked you about last night where we 
did a cat /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit  ? there should've been an ifconfig and
a 
route command right at the end. If there isn't, try cat 
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author . Make sure the gateway settings are the 
same as on your desktop PC.

I get a feeling that if the ip, netmask and gateway are set ok on the 
Tivo, that it's an ISA config problem you have..... I'm not familiar 
with ISA.... from your PC, if you go
start/run
ftp ftp.microsoft.com [OK]
Do you get connected to Microsoft's ftp service? If not, it sounds very
much like ISA permission configs.... perhaps try looking in the ISA logs
to see if it shows a lot of rejected requests from the Tivo.

Tony has instructions for changing from network updates back to modem 
updates at www.freeranger.co.uk . You'll need to install Joe, Tony's 
site has the details for that too.
