first of all the command is

"eth0" <-- ZERO, not the letter 'O'

Wth a linksys router you probably have DHCP enabled which is why our computer "just works" when you plug it in, however there's no DHCP on the TiVo, so you need to assign an IP.

The first thing you need to do is figure out what your IP is... use either ipconfig or winipcfg depending your version of windows. i.e. 192.168.1.100

Assuming your computer has an IP as above:

broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

Just assign a random IP to your tivo. I used .200

My config lines:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.200 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1


Hopefully this helps some.

all the above is perfect, now all i need to do is assign an IP to the TiVo, can I get a bit of help on that process.

also do I type all the

ifconfig ethO (.........) setting
broadcast (.........) setting
default gw (.........) setting

on diffrent lines and hit enter after each or all one command?


Thanks again guys, Im so close I can taste it. not bad of a non computer guy.

you all Rock!!!

the post above tells you how to do this.


FIRST: what kinda ethernet adapter you have?

if it is one of the ones on hostfreedom.com/tivo then just do this from bash

type this in

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.25 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

thats all one line

then type this

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1

thats all one line also

good luck

This was the tricky part that no one could answer for me. You have to replace (keyword) the hackinit file with this one. I spent hours and days trying to figure this one out. Good luck.
