Accessing TivoWeb from outside network
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I just installed the Tivoweb software on my PTVupgrade Netready drive. I can access the tivo using Tivoweb just fine from my PC. How do I access it from another computer outside of my home network? My ISP has blocked inbound port 80. I read somewhere that yiu can change the Tivo to listen on another port other than 80. Supposedly there is a tivoweb.cfg file on the tivo drive. I can't find it in any of the directories or subdirectories. Anyone have any ideas or another work around? Thanks.

There may be another workaround if you can have another computer on the inside proxy connections to the tivo... but the real solution is to find where tivoweb is installed and change the tivoweb.cfg file. Changing the port through tivoweb.cfg is a very quick, setting up a forwarding proxy is time consuming and requires a second computer to be on all the time.

Here's a quick way to find out if the tivoweb.cfg file is hanging around somewhere:

ls -1R|grep tivoweb.cfg

Unfortunately I'm not sure you can get ls to give you output similar to find, but you could redirect the output of ls -1R to a file and search for tivoweb.cfg and find which directory it is buried in.

It sounds like we have the same problem. I read Wavicle's reply to your post and was wondering if this solved your problem, or if you found another workaround. Thanks.
