Hi,

If you are running 2.5 then you specified the ip address when you installed the software.

Run nic_install again and double check/update the ip address to something that is valid on your network.

The full instalation instructions are at www.silicondust.com

Hello,

Instructions specify that they are only for software ver 3.0 and above.

Can anyone verify if they work for the ver 2.5.2?

Thanks

Yep, I'm running a cachecard on a Hughes with 2.5.2.

I couldnt use the silicon dust instructions. My PC kept hanging up in the bios for my tivo 'b' drive. Jumpers were correct, I tried 3x so I bailed so I wouldnt hose my drive.

I found these instructions at DDB...

Ok.. since there are a few guys here that are 'experts' and the rest of us poor souls are basically scriptkiddies with attitude.. let me give a rundown of a How to for TivoWeb.

Its not perfect.. and It aint great, but it'll do.

Please post corrections if neded.
I have 2 systems up and running and I will also post my stupid mistakes as well.

Tivoweb Installation:

1 Download Tivoweb from http://tivo.lightn.org/
make sure you get version:

Tivo Web Project - TCL v1.9.3

Now take that zip file (tar.. but unzippable in winzip www.winzip.com) double click it,
and go to *Options *Configuration *Miscellaneous and uncheck tar file smart CR/LF conversion
(Thats an important step)

Unzip it to a driectory on your hard drive.
Fire up a terminal program TeraTerm is recommended
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html

telnet to the Tivo via serial (dont use ehernet yet if you have it)

Navigate to the hack directory

cd /var/hack

Make a directory called tivoweb-tcl

mkdir tivoweb-tcl

change to that directory and create a modules directory

mkdir modules

go to teraterm and choose
*File *Transfer *ZModem *Send
and naviagte to the directory you saved the zip contents to and go into the module subdirectory
Choose the first file there and send it to the tivo.. continue for all files in the directory.

Next (On the tivo) change directory levels up one

cd ..

Now go back to TeraTerm:
*File *Transfer *ZModem *Send and move UP to the tivoweb-tcl directory (initial unzip directory on the PC)
and send every file in that directory.

Now you are done transfering files to the tivo...

You should have the following files:

In the tivoweb-tcl directory:
tivoweb.cfg
httpd-tt.itcl
changelog
copyright
sortof.css
TODO
technophobe.css
daynight.css
util.itcl
html.itcl
README
keytrap.js
httpd-tt.tcl
GPL

In the Modules Directory:
theme.itcl
remount.itcl
tvres-2.0.res
mfsbrowser.itcl
tvres-2.5.res
info.itcl
mail.itcl
resources.itcl
webremote.itcl
index.itcl
sched.itcl
ui.itcl

Now the fun begins...

1. Change to the modules directory on the tivo
cd modules

2. Change the name of the ui.itcl file to 0u1.itcl (yes, a zero)

cp ui.itcl 0ui.itcl

now remove the original ui.itcl with:

rm ui.itcl

3. Change the permissions on the httpd-tt.tcl file

cd .. (change back to the tivoweb-tcl directory)
chmod u+x httpd-tt.tcl (make it executable)

4. Run the server...
./httpd-tt.tcl &

You should receive an "accepting conections" in about 1 minute or so

I was successful with these steps, but I cannot find the IP of the machine.

Is there a file I can bash and copy to my pc and open to see what my IP is? If so, can I open it in notepad and assign it a different IP and then paste it over the old file and reboot the unit?

Many thanks.

When I type ifconfig I get the following....

var/hack/xPlusz# 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

so I ping 127.0.0.1 and then I get the IP address returning ping.....

So any Idea where I can change the IP to what I want so my ruter can see it. my router is configured to only see IP's from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199

Thanks for all of the help.

127.0.0.1 is the loopback - it'll always work, but only from the TiVo to the TiVo. I installed the cachecard, and have 3.1.0, so I just set the IP to an appropriate valid address in the nic_install process. (BTW, Jafa - the cachecard is _awesome_. Everything runs so much faster, even with only 256 in there - plus I have TiVoWeb now!)

Leon, you probably don't want that version of TiVoWeb anyway. Head back over to that other site and look for TiVoWebPlus - works much better on our DTivos. But your bigger problem is getting your network working. Worry about that first.

Thanks for the help here. I an xplusz with #45,1 and then rebooted. Then, I checked router info, then IP for the tivo was listed. I typed ftp://my.tivo.ip.address(tivo IP) and got in the tivo....wohoo

So how did you install a cachecard with tivoweb? Doesnt the turbonet card and the cachecard fit on the same slot on the unit?

I wish we could talk about installing tytools here. I would like to backup a show that was on network tv.

Posted by: GREEK

you cant extract anything with scrambling on, and your not gonna find many answers here. if you used the nic install you would have ruined xplusz installed on your system and had to do it over. you could have also gone into the router and specified a certain range of ip addresses without doing anything to your tivo. also note, that when you post your whole ip address on a forum, anyone can access it from the world wide web, take the steps to protect your inner domain.........

.....BTW the cachecard IS a turbonet card

"if you used the nic install you would have ruined xplusz installed on your system and had to do it over"

I used nic install and my previous xpulsz commands are not working. My problem is that I can ping my IP (static) but I can't telnet to it or use FTP and Tivoweb 1.9.4 says it won't work with 25xtreme. I don't have a serial cable, so I was hoping to do all this via ethernet connection. Thoughts...

"I used nic install and my previous xpulsz commands are not working."

Sorry... Meant to say that they are still working, even though I have no access to Xplusz now.
