The only problem is that, for some reason, my Tivo Desktop server is not seeing my tivo's new address. I know it is locked onto my LAN at the address that I gave it because I can easily call up tivowebplus and/or telnet to it, but I cannot seem to get the tivo desktop server to see it- I am getting Tivo Name = (unknown) address in the Tivo Server Properties / Access Control listing. Obviously, I cannot utilize MRV until the Tivo server and more importantly, the Tivo transfer service recognizes the address. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

When I do get the Now Showing list and I try to extract a show, I never get more than 80% extracted before it freezes. Can anyone help?

I had a Netgear FA120 USB connecter. All was fine and dandy. About 14 months ago we moved from Portland to Seattle and in the move the Netgear went missing. I've been using the Directivo without a network connection until today when I picked up a Trend Net TU2-ET100 from my local Radio Shack, plugged it into my Directvo, and into my network. The 100 MPS light lights up but not the link light. Rebooted several times and tried both ports to no avail. I see that there are adaptors that are compatabile for drives baked after Decemeber of 06 but what about one as old as mine? Short of a rebake are there any adaptors that will plug and play? It appears the Netgears are unavailable. If I've missed where this has been addressed in the forum already please forgive me. Thanks for any assistance!

I using a copy of my original drive so I can always go back to a clean copy of 6.3f if needed. In addition, I'm using a Linksys USB200M v2. I initially had trouble with PTVnet 6.x not installing and generating the "no such file or directory" when attempting to set the flags. I found several posts regarding this, and after manually creating the init directory, and using the "force" option to run the script, everything seemed to install. After booting my receiver, I now have link lights on my Linksys adapter, but I do get an address. I've scanned my network using AngryIP to verify this. I also do not have any unaccounted for entries in my DHCP clients table. For troubleshooting purposes, I have tried the USB200M in a laptop where it does get an address and works perfectly. I've read many posts here where people have this working, so clearly I'm overlooking something or doing something wrong. I was going to purchase InstantCake, but InstantCake is also at 6.3f so I don't see what that would gain. Any thoughts from anyone are appreciated.

It was working fine for MONTHS and then all of a sudden... nothing. I wasn't mucking around in there at all. I can still telnet in and get programs with tytools but no hackman. I really don't want to re cake the drive as I'll loose all my programs. Tips on reinstalling hackman? I see there's a new version so maybe I can install that? It's a DirecTivo HDVR2 (Hughes) HALP!!!

Since I don't have a regular phone line (we only use cell phones), I knew from the start I would have to hack it. So I did lots of research, and before I spend any money, I want to get the forums advice (the best forum I found so far). Will this plan work: 1. Use PTVnet and InstantCake on 120 GB hard drive I have laying around. 2. Buy and use Linksys USB200M v.2 10/100 Ethernet USB adapter. 3. Connect Linksys USB adapter to a Linksys wireless hub. Configure wireless hub to be on existing wireless network. 4. Connect to Time Warner cable (I don't have DirecTV's service). Do you guys see any problems with this? Any possible trouble spots? My goal right now is to get updates over the internet. My long term goal is to record some shows on DVD's that I can use at work, but I'll save that for another day.

I have a HR10-250 version 6.3 with PTVNET HD 6.3. I purchased the Trendnet adapter from DRV Upgrade with my PVT software. I installed the software on my drive, reinstalled the drive, connected the Trendnet adapter to my HR10-250, and ran a wire to my router. I powered up the Tivo and all of the channels are working. On the Trendnet adapter only the 100Mbs light comes on, and the Link light is off. I checked my router DHCP client list and it does not see the Tivo. I amnot sure if the Tivo is not connecting to the Trendnet, or if the router is not finding the Tivo. Can someone help me understand how to gett hese talking?

All are working just fine except 1 (one that I upgraded) doesn't report a default gateway like the other two. All machines use the same DHCP server, so they should all be getting the same default GW. But onw isn;t for some reason. Any ideas where to look and what to look for?
