Networking

From NZTivo

Misc (for now)

Note that if you are going to be networking to your PC then you will need to use a crossover cable or hub.

Note that you don't need to do any software configuration on the Tivo, DHCP networking is enabled on the oztivo image by default.

If you have a hub or modem router just plug it in. If your connecting to your PC then you will need to configure a DHCP server on your machine, on WinXP you can use the built-in ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) software or use a thirdparty application.

Note that if you need (or prefer) to use a Static IP configuration see oztivo, note tho you need a serial cable for this method. Once you're networked it's trivial to change to a static IP. It's probably documented in an oztivo somewhere too...

Download Putty from Tucows to be able to Telnet into Tivo from a Windows machine (when you have a turbonet network card in the Tivo).
