Trying to get ethernet connection working.

Picked up a 30hr type 1 TiVo have it working ok over the phone connection
but wanted to check out the ethernet setup. Can't seem to be able to put in
the ,#401 into the number for dialup. It comes up with preset numbers for
dialing in. Any ideals would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Patrick.

If it's version 3.0 or above, that should do it.

The TurboNETTM card, is alive and well with the latest software
release from TiVo for the standalone TiVo. Support for the TurboNETTM
is now built-in to the TiVo software. Do NOT use the older
installation procedures if you have 3.0. You do need a DHCP server
running on your network, like the one that the Linksys router
provides, and you must set the dialing prefix to ",#401" (without the
quotes and this is entered with Pause Enter 4 0 1).

Since 3.0 has built in drivers, you do not need to install any
additional software to get updates over the internet. However, if you
want telnet or ftp access to your TiVo, you will need to modify some
files and install some software. Click here for instructions on
getting telnet and ftp going with 3.0.

Forum.

You put it in as the dialing *prefix*.

Thanks. Put ,#401 in dialing prefix but still didn't work. But opened it
up today to backup the hard drive and found the ethernet card cocked in its
socket. Reinserted it and now works fine.
