[quantum_3]

i am trying to get a static IP to work but i dont see my NIC when i do an IFCONFIG but all the green lights are on the tivo and the back of the PC. any ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

ok i am now getting closer this is IFCONFIG:
ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:18:B0:F6:76
inet addr:192.168.0.105 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
Interrupt:29 Base address:0x300

also tried to edit the rc.remote-login just for fun as well. per kravens readme i put this in front:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.99 netmask 255.255.255.0
route.tivonet delete default 2> /dev/null
route.tivonet add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth0

If you're really setting the Tivo's IP to 192.168.0.105, then you need to set your PC to 192.168.0.99.

changed my pc from 192.168.1.99 to 192.168.1.110 and it works..thanks for the help

Yeah, that is a common "oops." Windows favors the 192.168.1.XXX class of addresses for internal networking.
I don't know where I picked up 192.168.0.xxx, but it's what I use for my back end network, and it has caused several late nite headaches when I wan't paying enough attention to what I was doin'. :)
