Tivonet files needed?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Oscar

I noticed that on the 9th tee's tivofloppy page that it has a list of downlaodable files and that it has a few files like 8390-2.5x.o that says required for tivonet operation. Has the tivonet script already been updated to call these files?

I used the tivo boot cd and ran the tivonet script and my unit will not come up on my network. I don't know if these files that I mentioned above were included in the tivo boot CD or not.

Here's what I did (BTW I *enjoy* making modifications to scripts to customize them to my envronment so look at them and make the necessary changes)

* Make TiVoNet floppy (9thTee or wherever)

* Substitute the appropriate 2.5 objects (in your case).
If they are in some tar/gz file make the changes there (recompress the objects into a tgz file with same name or you can always manually cp them to the correct location /lib/modules/ after the script has run).

* Make modifications to "your script"
You can do this on a windows box, but remember to use the DOS2UNIX.exe convertor

* Don't forget that if you are running a DTiVo, you only can mount hdX7 (but hdX4 also needs to be modified for SA TiVos)

# 1) TiVo should be attached to secondary master

DRIVE=/dev/hdc
#
# 2) FILL IN the IP address you want for your TiVo.
#
IP=
#
# 3) What subnetmask do you use for machines on your LAN?
#
MASK=255.255.255.0
#
# 4) What is the default route ? (The IP address of the device/server that is
# the gateway to the internet?
#
DEFROUTE=

# 6) Where you want partition 7 mounted (safe to leave as default)
#
