hacking a s2 dtivo with sleeper 1.02...

[matrix165]

i got the guide from weethet.nl(but his site is currently down). i was able to replace my 80 gig drive, with a 120 gig and the tivo boots to the new drive , but the wusb11 v2.6 linksys usb wireless ethernet adapter isnt pulling an ip address from my dlink 614+ wireless router, grrrrr. i answered the questions as follows:
network drivers: i selected "p" for pegesus
tivo ip address, 192.168.0.102 as .100 is home comp and .101 is laptop
broadcast ip address: 192.168.0.255
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1

now. the sleeper as me to give the tivo an ip address during setup but the dlink router uses dhcp to assign an ip address during start-up i am assuming it will give my tivo the ip address of 192,168,0,102 cause it is the next ip address in-line.

any suggestions?

It's not going to pull an address from your DHCP server, it's a fixed address.

You probably want to use an address outside of the range assigned by your router or you'll end up with address conflicts at some point. .99 would work.

thanks for the reply.
if my router doesnt give it an ip address then how do i reconize it on the network?

Matrix, it is quite hard to use wireless adapters on version 3 software. I would recommend finding a good 4.x image and using that software, which should fully support your wireless adapter through the network configuration window.

If you wish to stick with version 3, you will need to use special drivers for your DirecTivo unit. I would recommend reading through this thread:

DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses, but they can also be assigned statically which is what you are doing on your Tivo. The Sleeper scripts set a static, fixed IP address in your rc.sysinit.author.

This works fine as long as your router/dhcp server doesn't try to reassign that address to another computer on your network. It sounds like your router is preconfigured to start assigning IP addresses at 192.168.0.100, so using an IP below .100 will prevent that.

The other possible issue is if you have filtering enabled on your router, you may need to add the Tivo in order for the router to allow traffic. Its off by default on my DLink, so I'm guessing you are OK.

I've never tried to get wireless drivers working so I can't help you there.
