My turbonet seems to be picky on when it wants to work. I had a lock up and after restarting its now not working. THe link light on my router is on and the light on the turbonet card is on. I cant access the tivo web page and tytool doesnt work now. Its done this before and not sure what i did to get it working just kinda did on its own.

Is can stil lget serial bash so is there somthing I can try running that may not be loading proberly on boot. using 2.5Xtre and Kravens upgrade.

Also I got my turbonet card early on 2nd batch i think could it mabye be defective?


and this is what iv added to get a static ip in my rc.sysinit, and like i mentioned it tivoweb hs worked and so has tytool jsut after the reboot its not.




ifconfig net0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
route.tivonet delete default 2> /dev/null

route.tivonet add default gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev net0


[ ! -f /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author ] || /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author

echo "rc.sysinit is complete"

OK weird now. It locked again but it locked right after conncting to a specfic IRC server. Last time it locked i was connecting to the same irc server and iv had it lock previously apon conncting to IRC also.

Could connectingto irc be sending some weird feedback to my tivo over the network causign it to lock? Also after locking again tivoweb stops working.

Just some general networking troubleshoot things to try:

* A different network cable.
* Is your switch 10/100 autonegotiating? Do you have one that is locked at 100Mbps? Sometimes these things can cause problems. Either way, try a different switch.
* Check log messages on the tivo. I'm not by my tivo now so I forget which ones exist, but likely candidates are /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages.
* Make sure that your problem isn't your routing/masqing box. From a box on the same switch/subnet as your tivo, set a ping going to the tivo and see if it cuts out as well.

Some of the earlier production TurboNet boards had a problem with the C20 capacitor. The effect was that the driver failed to load sometimes. Do a search over at tivocommunity to see if this is the problem you are experiencing.
