TurboNet and Guide Setup
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I have a standalone Philips HDR31203. It was running 2.5 and I had added a 80g HD over a year ago with great success. A few weeks ago my modem died so I ordered the TurboNet and received it this week. I used Dylan's boot disk and Worley TiVoNET Floppy to install the drivers. I set the IP address to 10.10.10.15 and set the default gateway to 10.10.10.254. It worked and I was able to d/l the new programming data via the Internet. Though I could not ping nor access the Tivo via ftp or telnet. (I was just happy to get the guide data) During my Tivo downtime my cable provider had rearranged the channel lineup. So when I got the new programming data all of my season passes were broken and I wasn't able to search by titles. This was the same thing that happened when it upgraded to 2.5. So I did what I had to do last time, delete everything and redo the guide setup. But the guide setup didn't see the TurboNet and I couldn't get out of the guide setup. So after trying to reload the drivers a few more times I pulled out my original Tivo A Drive with 1.3 and restored from the backup. Now I was trying to use it as a single drive unit. The modem was still dead so I tried to load the drivers on the newly restored 1.3 It doesn't recognize the TurobNet either so I am stuck.

I figure that I need an image for 2.5 or 3.0 with or without TivoNet drivers.

Please help:)

DId you use the turbonet drivers because they are different than the tivonet. The turbonet installation is really easy just answer a few questions and you are on your way. If you used the drivers that are made for the Tivonet than that is probably your problem.

I used the TivoNet drivers. Didn't know there was a difference since they sorta worked. I couldn't access the site (silicondust.com) when I was originaly looking for the drivers so I used the drivers from the 9thtee d/l drivers page.

Thanks. I will try out the TurboNet drivers. Hope they will work on 1.3

Thanks a lot! It worked. I would be sad for screwing it up if I wasn't so happy that it is working again.

Once again. Thanks...
