So Close....My TurboNet problems

I slid the turbonet card snugly on the pins of my svr 2000's motherboard after a wrestling match with a striped screw and a shady prison style hack sawing for the cable to come out. I plugged it in and, yay, my cable modem showed a computer connected and some activity. I then proceeded through "Guided Setup", as I was in that trap before I installed the card, and when I went to make the setup call, it connected but said "Failed, No Service Available". I have a lifetime subscription so what gives? Does big brother tivo know that I have violated their virgin Sony daughter? Help!

Not real familiar with 2000's, but my experience with TurboNET cards and TiVo phoning home via Broadband is software version dependent. On my T60's with 2.5 code I did not have to do anything, if it found a configured working NIC it used it instead of the phone line. In 3.1, I had to set the dial prefix to ,#401 (comma pound sign four zero one) for it to again use Broadband. Did you try that?

I did enter the prefix ,#401. It wouldn't have even been able to connect if I didn't. It connects, it just says I have no service....which i do.

How do you have the tivo hooked up? Through a router? Directly to the modem? Do you have to logon to your service or is it always on? etc

It is plugged directly into the cable modem. The people at 9thtee told me it would work with my setup. It seems to be connecting...it just says there is no service available. But I have a lifetime subscription.

Miracle of miracles, I got it working. As an idiot check (it worked) I unlpugged my cable modems power supply before connecting it to my svr 2000. I booted the svr and then plugged the modem back into the outlet. This time it connected and all is dandy. Thanks for your help.
