PPP Serial Trouble

[cactus46]

The D*TiVos that I've setup have worked with the Guided Setup via serial/PPP. I don't know why an R10 would be any different?

John

Yeah, I think I will have to find a phone line. Don't know if I should ask in this thread, but If I have a directTV Tivo, then I guess I won't serial ppp at all since the guide and Tivo upgrade is done over the satellite? The only thing I'll gain by serial ppp is the software updates? Is that right?

Hi John, thanks for taking a look. I did check the always allow and i assigned two IP addresses 5 or so away from my 4th number like previous threads. Other things I have done and more info about my setup:
Wireless connection on an XP laptop with no serial port but a usb serial converter to the 9th tee null modem serial cable. It seems to work, and gets to "Configuring", but then fails. I didn't try powering down the HDTivo, but I might try that.

Thanks again John.

Hi Mike,

When you set up the Incoming Connection Properties, did you check "Always allow directly connected devices such as palmtop....?" And did you assign two static IP addresses?

Your log looks like you've done most things correctly.

Keep us posted.

Hi Mike,

Can you tell us a little about the USB-serial adapter you are using--brand, etc? We have had some reports that that some USB-serial adapters purchased on eBay did not work.

See this thread: http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=234610

In this thread Omar bought an eBay adapter and produced a good modem log similar to your log. This thread really parallels what your are showing us.

Keep us posted.

Hi Dennis,

I use a IOGEAR GUC232 USB-serial adapter. Others that have been reported to work here is a Radio Shack model and an IBM model. I don't have the numbers for those.

A couple of members have reported that a "no-name" model sold on eBay didn't work.

Keep us posted.

I got a Cables to Go "Port Authority" USB to Serial adapter (USBa/db9m Rs-232) for cheap and it works just fine on my DTivo and HD Dtivo via my laptop.

TigerDirect via Amazon for $20.48 shipped (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000067RVJ/motorcyctoure-20)

Direct from TigerDirect for $14.99 + shipping ($4.99) (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=123071&CatId=464)

Manufacturer's web page is here. (http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=1501&sku=26886)

I downloaded the latest drivers from the web page since they were newer that the ones on the included CD. Installed them on my laptop running XP pro, connected up the "dongle", and got it working with both DTivos I tried at 115,200.

At about $20 delivered it was the cheapest "name brand" adapter I could find, and it works for me.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your report on another workable solution for the USB to Serial adapter. This should give our members another choice in adapters in addition to the IOGEAR that I use. And it will help steer members away from the frustrations of adapters that don't work.

The only difference I see between your Port Authority and my IOGEAR was XP supported my adapter without loading any external drivers. Maybe the Port Authority is supported, too? But for $5-$10 why not load a driver.

Thanks again. :)

It may have w/o loading anything, but on the box and on the instructions it warns not to plug it in w/o first loading the drivers supplied. Wanting to give it every chance to work, I loaded the drivers first :)

BTW, I would bet that this one (http://www.pfranc.com/usb/usb.mhtml) would work as well. The pfranc folks have been around for a long time making cheap Garmin power plugs and now make a USB->Serial converter with a "signed" driver.

... (about 800 lines total) ...

I double checked my mdmhayes.inf and verified that "~" and "<h00>~ are in the registry. I've started from scratch a handful of times, but I just can't seem to get the connection to recognize the "~". I was able to get rid of all of the TCP(0000) and LINEEVENT lines by disabling the built-in modem.

Anything else I can try? Thanks in advance!

Hi wingerz,

The changes you made to the mdmhayes.inf file never made it to the mdmhayes.pnf file. So delete the the modem, and the Incoming Connection that you created, and the and the mdmhayes.pnf file. Verify that the changes you made are in the mdmhayes.inf file. And empty the Recycle Bin.

Avoid creating a backup of the mdmhayes.pnf or mdmhayes.inf filres in the C:\Windows\inf sub-directory. Reboot the computer and recreate the modem and the Incoming Connection. Reboot the computer again.

Change the TiVo's Dial Prefix to ,#211 and and be sure to set the modem up for 115kb. Then try another Test Call and a Daily Call and gives us another modem log if the calls don't complete again. Also, you can PM a copy of your mdmhayes.inf file (rename it to mdmhayes.txt though) for my comments if you like. If anything I've stated here is unclear, ask for a clarification.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town for a few days. I just looked up my USB Serial Adapter info. I got it from Newegg, made by GWC.

GWC UC320 USB 1.1 to Serial Converter Cable Accessory - Retail
Model #: UC320/AP1100
Item #: N82E16812107108
In Stock

http://www.gwctech.com/ebproductdetail.asp?id=46

Any known conflicts with this? I got one of the more expensive ones. Perhaps I should return and try and find the known working one.

Thanks again, Mike

[cactus46]

Hi Mike,

When I first looked at your log it looked very good like Omar's did in the thread referenced in my previous post. Of course I did not recognize his USB-serial adapter as the problem either until he tried the IOGEAR and it worked!

I have no direct knowledge or feedback on the adapter you have selected. Maybe others here can give us their experience. The specifications look good. Did you have to load drivers for your adapter?

Good luck and keep us posted, Mike.

I just went through this on a new laptop. If you follow the "Otto Guide" as shown here (http://www.tivohelp.com/archive/tivohelp.swiki.net/45.html) and other places. Note the single line step after you edit the inf file:

After you save this inf file, delete the corresponding pnf file (c:\windows\inf\mdmhayes.pnf), and reboot XP.

Although I have done this setup several times now and helped others do it, I completely missed that step in the config this last time :o

So be sure to delete that file and reboot.

Also, on my PC with I went to choose the modem the "communication cable between two computers" was listed twice - scroll down to the very bottom to see the "right" one. Once you choose it and pick a port you will get the "has not passed Window logo testing" warning window. If you do not see this, then you have done something wrong (chosen the wrong modem, edited the wrong file, etc).


On most machines you will also have to enable the Guest account (turned off by default on most Windows installs).

[bettenmv]

I loaded the drivers that were on the CD.

The other error I made was that I made a copy of the mdmhayes file and left it in the directory. I fixed that error and tried again, but still doesn't work. I might try to buy that other adapter and see if mine is the problem.


thanks again to everyone trying to help!

Hi Mike,

The lines with TSP(0000) indicates another piece of hardware is getting involved with the modem you are setting up for serial/PPP. So I'm guessing that the USB adapter was possibly plugged into a different USB port? Or perhaps you tried setting up serial/PPP again and picked the wrong modem?

Make sure you plug the USB-serial adapter into the same USB port that you set it up on and be sure it is plugged in when you boot the computer. Also, be sure all modem devices and com ports are disabled that you don't need for the serial/PPP call.

Keep us posted.

John

Here is latest log. I have disabled the other modem and seem to be getting different errors...

Ok, I am still plugging away, but whew! John, you are a saint. I tried the other usb port, and didn't get a connection at all, so I can rule that out. I uninstalled the driver for the usb adapter and downloaded a new one from the company website. I reinstalled it and now can't create a new connection, it says "Incoming connectios depend on the Routing and Remote access sservice which was unable to start." I had that happen to me before and it eventually worked. Not sure exactly why. I have also disabled the regular modem, then deleted it. neither seems to have worked. After I try to reinstall the new connection, if I can't get it to work i'll try and connect directly to the internet instead of through a wireless connection. Man, this is frustrating. :rolleyes:

Hi Mike,

I applaud your perserverance! The first modem log you submitted looked good and that is why I suggested reviewing Omar's thread about his challenge with the USB-serial adapter. I really don't know if the USB adapter is a factor here or not. A wired or a wireless connection should be irrelevant if the computer can talk to the Internet over either connection.

You can set the RAS to 'auto or on' in the Control Panel/admin tools/services. I wonder if removing the drivers for the USB adapter or removing the modem may have shut RAS off? However, in your case I would remove the modem you configured for serial/PPP and the Incoming Connection and re-do it using the supplied data in the Device Manager for the USB serial adapter. Make sure you see the USB serial adapter in the Device Manager and that is appears to be working properly there.

Do you have another computer around that you could set up serial/PPP on perhaps with a built-in RS-232 port? [I always like to suggest this. :) ] Another thought is see if your local Radio Shack has their USB serial adapter in stock. You could always return it if it didn't work but it is a bit expensive.

Keep us posted.

[bettenmv]

I do have another computer but it is too far away!!! I'll try a few more things and let you know. Maybe the radio shack idea is a good one, i can always return if I need to.

I'll keep you guys posted. HOpefully I learn something that others can benefit from.

I have my DTivos working just fine through my new laptop and cheap USB->converter. The problem is that every time I reboot or shutdown XP Pro forgets the incoming connection settings. So the next time I want to have the DTivos phone home I have to run through the wizard again. It already pretty much knows all the answer, but it is still a pain. Another laptop running XP Home (and a real serial port) does not have this problem - and my older laptop running Win2k did not either.

Ring any bells with anyone?

Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

It sounds like the USB adapter is being assigned a new com port on reboot. Is the adapter plugged in when you boot? I assume you have to re-do the modem and the Incoming Connection? Perhaps another hardware device or application is going for the same com port?

The next time you re-do the connection perhaps try reassigning the adapter a com port on a trial like com5 or com6 and then set up your connections. Also, it might be worthwhile disabling a built-in modem for a test.

Keep us posted.

It is the same port each time (COM4). All I have to do is re-run the add network wizard. The modem, port, etc is all in there - in fact in my setup I have an IP address range in for the Tivos to use and that is saved - just the "incoming connection" is not.

I was thinking about it, I bet when I boot w/o the USB->serial dongle connected (which is most of the time) it drops the incoming connection since the port/adapter are not available. I only use the adapter for this and don't "call in" but once or twice a month, so if that is what it is I will just put up with it. I will test the idea later by rebooting with and without the dongle connected.

Thanks,
Dennis

I tried rebooting with the dongle connected and it still lost the incoming icon (and does not work if I have a Tivo "dial" out). It is simple to re-do, just make new connection, pick "advanced" and everything else is already filled in so it is just "next", "next", etc.

I am thinking the network connections are scanned before the USB->serial dongle drive is loaded. At that time, I have no "COM4" so it drops the incoming connection from the available connections. Later after the driver is loaded it comes back, but only if I use the wizard. I may try removing the driver I installed and see if Windoze finds and can use the dongle w/o it. If so, it may solve the problem.

On the other laptops, they have real ports which are always availbel - so no problem with the connection going away.

As I said, I only do it once or twice a month normally so it is not a huge deal.

Hi, I've been reading through this thread, and have a similar situation as bobrap. I have a dsl router, but no phone line. The unit is an R10 and is a directTv TIVO I think. I still need to run the initial guide setup. Can I do this over the serial ppp, or is a phone line needed for this.

I went back and corrected my earlier post - you CAN install a new DTivo w/o a real phone line. I installed a new HDTivo last night and did it all PPP.

1) Get your PPP stuff working on another DTivo, if possible
2) When it is ready for the toll free call to get the local numbers, choose to change the options and put in your PPP prefix (,#211 for most).
3) After you enter the prefix choose the "test these options" at the bottom of the option screen - it should work
4) Then choose the save these options, it will take you back to the toll free call in screen - let it go ahead and call and it should work via PPP
5) Choose any local number and any choice for dialing the area code and 1 before the number
6) Let it test the new local number - it should work via PPP
7) All - done, now may a daily call and you may get the new software right with this first call. On an HDTTivo this download was 9mb or more - all via PPP.

This was on an HDTivo, hopefully other DTivo models will work the same way.

I did notice they do not supply serial cables with the HDTivos, so you will have to use a cable from another DTivo or pick one up before you try the install.

Hi Dennis,

I set up my neighbor's HDVR2 totally with serial/PPP. His phone service is a cell phone. This was more than a year ago. Actually, after the Dial Prefix of ,#211 is entered, the telephone number is out of the picture; so it wouldn't matter what telephone number was entered with the ,#211 Dial Prefix.

As far as I know, none of the current D*TiVos ship with a serial cable. The two adapters or a null-modem cable make the 9th Tee TiVo serial null modem cable very cost effective at less than $10! If one uses the TiVo-supplied serial cable, then it must be converted to a TiVo serial null-modem cable with either a null-modem cable or the two adapters--a gender-changer adapter and a null-modem adapter. Or if one has the necessary tools and ability making the cable is better yet. :)

Thanks for making the points in your post.

hey dennis,

i'm almost positive that i've done all of the above several times. :) but maybe i'll go through it one more time just in case. when i tried this before, i was able to verify that my newly generated pnf file had a recent modified timestamp, and that when i installed the "communications cable between two computers" the driver was indeed unsigned.

i'm actually going over to a friend's place tonight to try my luck with an external modem.

thank you for the reply, i appreciate it.

I just went through this on a new laptop. If you follow the "Otto Guide" as shown here (http://www.tivohelp.com/archive/tivohelp.swiki.net/45.html) and other places. Note the single line step after you edit the inf file:

After you save this inf file, delete the corresponding pnf file (c:\windows\inf\mdmhayes.pnf), and reboot XP.

Although I have done this setup several times now and helped others do it, I completely missed that step in the config this last time :o

So be sure to delete that file and reboot.

Also, on my PC with I went to choose the modem the "communication cable between two computers" was listed twice - scroll down to the very bottom to see the "right" one. Once you choose it and pick a port you will get the "has not passed Window logo testing" warning window. If you do not see this, then you have done something wrong (chosen the wrong modem, edited the wrong file, etc).


On most machines you will also have to enable the Guest account (turned off by default on most Windows installs).

Make sure you get the warning about the non-signed driver or something is wrong. I failed to notice that (as well as failed to delete the file) this last time I set it up. It is possible your harware is the problem and nothing you do in software will fix that.

In my set up I also had to specify the IP addresses for the Tivos to use - the DHCP assign just didn't seem to work properly. You might try that as well, just make sure you have a range that is on the same sub-net as your PC and ones that are not in use by others devices on the net.

I promised to keep everyone updated. I went through and performed the steps over again. This time I disabled and reenabled the existing modem, reinstalled the serial adapter and it ended up on a different COM port.

So... I was able to make the test call, and thought I had the problem solved! After I made the test call, (on both the HDTivo and the regular DirecTivo), neither would get through the actual call. Both fail in the configuring portion of the call.

Any thoughts on that?

Thanks again,

Mike

[cactus46]

Hi Mike,

Welcome back. So let me see if I understand what has happened. You are using the same USB-serial adapter? Did you get an opportunity to try a USB-serial adapter that works for others? Your Test Calls now work consistently but the Daily Calls still fail?

Reboot your computer with the USB-serial adapter plugged in, make another Test Call and Daily Call and send us the modem log again.

Keep us posted.

Some interesting info on my set up.

I have the "cables-to-go" USB->Serial port dongle. On one of my HDTivos I have a proper serial cable - no adapter needed - and it works just fine every time I try it. On my other HDTivo I have the serial cable they used to send free with the Tivos + a null modem cable + a gender changing 9 pin cable (another 3' or so). On THIS HDTivo I have trouble getting it to phone in if it has not in a while, it drops the "line" at the negotiating stage. I tried slowing it down, tried other stuff, no go. I swap the PC to the other HDTivo and it works every time. I finally grabbed my wife's laptop (with real serial port) and it worked first time. After that, it would work OK on my laptop.

So inferences are:

1) USB->serial dongles are more sensitive to cable length, connectors, etc than a real serial port is.

2) The longer your box goes w/o calling in the more stuff it has to send during the "negotiating" phase and the harder for it is to make it complete. I have seen this before, the longer it has been since the last call in the longer "negotiating" takes.

I ordered a couple of the null modem serial cables from 9th Tee a couple of weeks ago and they didn't "get around" to shipping my order until a week had passed (they charged my CC right away). I EXPECT that once I get those in that all my DTivos will work fine at any time with my USB->serial dongle.

So if someone is having a problem getting this to work, I would try getting a pre-made direct cable AND if it has been a LONG time since you called in you might think of using a real phone line someplace (assuming your internal modem still works) to clear out the "buffer" of all the cr*p they upload from your DTivo. Once you have it cleared out then try your PPP connect again. If it works, just be sure to call in fairly often.

Interesting post, Dennis. With my IOGEAR USB-serial adapter, original serial cable shipped with my HDR31203, gender-changer, and null-modem, all of my connections have be rock-solid on both of my TiVos and my neighbor's TiVo. However, as I've said before, it would have been more cost effective to have ordered the 9th Tee TiVo serial null modem cable! But I was impatient when I was setting up my serial/PPP. :)

I am having extreme difficulty getting PPP to work with my HR10-250. With the cable and computer I am using I used to connect by SAT-T60 all of the time. I have followed the instructions on http://www.tivohelp.com/archive/tivohelp.swiki.net/6.html and tried many of the suggestions in this thread and nothing seems to work. I know my cable is working as in hyperterminal I get stuff starting with ~, but never get a "user request." I have tried changing speeds several times. I've edited the mdmhayes.inf file numerous times and deleted the corresponding .pnf file and rebooted the machine. I have tried it with my wireless router and vonage both attached and with them removed. I've tried both static and DHCP ip addresses. I've been trying to get this to work for almost a year now on and off and would really like to get it up and running as I had to replace the hard drive and run guided set up again and without a land line this is the only way I can make the necessary first phone call since I've also tried to get vonage to work for hours on end.

I'm running Windows XPSP2. Motorola SB5100 cable modem, NetGear WGR614 wireless router, Motorola VT1005V Vonage box. IP address 192.168.1.2

Here is my latest ModemLog file from a test call any help would be appreciated:

Hi cptkleid,

What Dial Prefix have you set up in the HR10-250? Are you still using serial/PPP on the SAT-T60 with your current setup? Are your trying to run Guided Setup on the HR10-250? Was Guided Setup aborted?

I don't see a ~ in your modem log. My suggestion would be to reboot the HR10-250 (if Guided Setup is completed) and reboot your computer and make a Test Call and then a Daily Call. Then again send the log to us.

Keep us posted.

John

Interesting post, Dennis. With my IOGEAR USB-serial adapter, original serial cable shipped with my HDR31203, gender-changer, and null-modem, all of my connections have be rock-solid on both of my TiVos and my neighbor's TiVo. However, as I've said before, it would have been more cost effective to have ordered the 9th Tee TiVo serial null modem cable! But I was impatient when I was setting up my serial/PPP. :)

John

When I let my boxes go a LONG time without calling in I had a really hard time getting PPP to work at all. Once I did it spent "forever" on the negotiating step. My theory now is that folks who phone in regularly have far less trouble than those that do not. As I said before, folks who just can't seem to get it to work (get dropped at negotiating) may want to carry the box to some place with a phone line (no sat needed) and have it call in to clean out the "buffer" then I would bet it would work better once they get back home and are using PPP again.

If there is a lot to send, slowing it down to work around a cable or dongle limit may not help since it will time out because the send is too slow. Keeping it cleaned out by regular calling seems to greatly reduce the amount of junk sent and the time needed to maintain a good connection.

My 9th Tee cables finally arrived today from the Brown Santa so I will try one tonight in place of the original cable/null/extension and see how it works. I got an extra for my friend - he has a real serial on his laptop but can't get PPP to work consistently using a home-made cable. We are betting it will work a ton better with the 9th Tee cable.

John,

I am using ,#211 as the dial prefix. I am no longer using the SAT-T60, but if I remember correctly the serial/PPP connection stopped working before I actually stopped using the box.

One of my two hard drive on the HR10-250 died so I bought InstantCake and downgraded it to just the original factory drive. I did make it through guided set up as the set up of the phone connection is actually separate. That is where I am now.

I have rebooted the the machine a couple of times and that hasn't seemed to change anything. I'm have no idea why ~ doesn't appear in the modem log. I will try again and do another test call; I can't make a daily call though as it won't even make the call to get the list of phone number that allows you to move to the daily call section.

John,

Sorry, I left out some info! I am using the same USB to Serial adapter I used before, but I uninstalled and reinstalled everything including the existing modem in the box. I was never able to make the test call work before. This time it worked on both boxes for the test call but not the actual call, multiple times successful test call. I think on one box there is a lot of "stuff" to go through, but on my HD box probably not.

I am out of town this week but when I get back I'll reboot, make both test and daily, and send the log.

I didn't get a new adapter. My computer with the actual serial port is too far away to use.

Thanks again,

Mike

More notes - again using the cheap "Cables to Go" USB->serial port dongle.

I got my 9th Tee cables in and tried them last night. Before I did I tried a test call using with the HDTivo and the OEM cable + RS null modem adapter + gender changing 9 pin cable (3' or so plus the length of the OEM serial cable). Test calls worked, but the daily call dropped connection right after the "negotiating" step when it changed on screen to "downloading". I tried it a couple of times and it would not work.

I plugged in the 9th Tee cable and made a test call - fine, then made the daily call and it too worked first time.

I dropped off the extra 9th Tee cable at my friend's house last night and he reported that his made a daily call with no problem. He has a serial port, but was using a home-made cable and was having inconsistent results.

So my advice to someone using anything other than the direct 9th Tee cable would be to get one - if you are having problems with the PPP connection dropping in the negotiating or downloading steps.

FYI, the direct connect cable that I already had on another Tivo is NOT the same as the 9th Tee cable. It is heavier feeling (much thicker wire) - and it works fine too. The trouble is I have no idea where I got it :) I have owned two stand-alone Tivos, several SD DTivos, and now several HD DTivos and I ASSUME it must have come from one of them - but I can't be sure.....

Hi Danny,

After looking at your log again, I do see a couple of ~, and they are not recognized by the changes to your mdmhayes.inf file. So if you deleted the mdmhayes.pnf, made the changes to the mdmhayes.inf file, set up the modem and then the Incoming Connection, the ~ should be recognized.

When the above doesn't happen, for some reason the old .pnf file reappears, perhaps from the Recycle Bin. Or perhaps a copy of the file is left in the C:\Windows\inf directory.

So I would suggest that your basically start again, deleting the Incoming Connection, modem, and the .pnf file. Empty the Recycle Bin if it is active, too. Also, for a test, disable any modem that isn't being used in the Control Panel.

Try this, reboot the computer, try a Test Call and a Daily Call and send us another modem log should this not work.

Keep us posted.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your update on the 9th Tee TiVo serial null modem cables. It is good to read they worked for you and your friend. It is surprising how many members have challenges relating to their cables.

Happy TiVoing :)

Hi Mike,

Since you are using 9th Tee's TiVo serial null modem cable, I would still try another USB-serial (RS-232) adapter or another computer with a serial port.

But resubmit your modem log and I'll be happy to comment on what I see.

I'm still in awe of your patience. Good luck and keep us posted.

ive been reading a lot of these posts with noone getting any real anwsers.. just new things to try .... so heres my 2 cents....

first off make sure you make the approiate changes to you c:\windows\inf\mdmhayes.inf file before doing ANYHTING

1 . make sure you edit the mdmhayes.inf file, delete the mdmhayes.pnf file and reboot BEFORE you set up your modem and connection

2 make sure mdmhayes.pnf exists in your windows/inf directory. if it does not .. delete the modem you created and the coonection and recreate them.

3 unplug any usb devices connected to your tivo (just to test)

4 i have read alot and havent seen anyone mention this if some one has im sorry i overlooked it ..but if you have hacked your tivo . to enable hmo.mrv..usb.etc... make sure you didnt prevent tivo from calling home.. (How can it connect it you set it not to :D)

5 make sure you add the , before #211 eg ,#211.

6 if you are not even getting to the negotiating status unplug the serial cable from the tivo and start up a hyper terminal and connect using the approiate com port... and shout out the connector on the mini plug while simetanieously sending data through the hyperterminal and hit enter.... while shorting the points.. it show return small bits of data.


7 my roomate made me think of this one..(i asked him to plug the wire in for me) just FYI on the back of the unit the 2 jacks......... one says serial and one says IR... not IN DOnot plug it into the ir port for the serial connection... i repeate... this does not say IN

8 i have turned on as many firewalls as i can and it still worked flawlessy...... firewalls block incoming traffic....... and since your tivo is trying to connect out... they should not pose a problem.. as none of them have for me...


9 its been said before .. i know and it needs to be said again.. you must make sure the ip addresses for the connection you created MUST go a long with your computers / networks... so if your computers ip address is 192.168.1.xxx then your 2 i p addresses should start with 192.168.1.xxx and if your ip address is
123.678.234.xxx then guess what the range need to be within 123.678.234.xxx.. DO Not USE THE AUTOMATIC IP ADDRESS SETTING. just set your own.. when you determine the range for the last 3 digits the xxx take the last 3 digits of your computers ip address and count up all your network devices.. computers, xbox's, additional routers, print servers.etc for example if my local ip address is 192.168.1.100 (which it is) and i have 2 xbox's 3 computers , and a psp.. thats 6 devices.. so i take my last 3 digits and add 6.. i for each device on my network that requires an ip address and add 5 for good measure.... (just incase you forgot something) ... would make my ip range 192.168.1.111 - 192.168.1.112

because 100 + 6 devices + 5 (just to be safe) = 111 :D

you dont want to go to high because a lot of routers only issus small ranges by default.

10 ooo i thought of another way to test your serial cable plug it in to your computer and fire up hyper terminal.... and stick the small end in your mouth.... if you get a shock.. at least you know the wire isnt bad (please not this will not tell you if the wires are backwards :D.

i cant think of anything else its 1:30 am and i was bored so i tried to find as many ways as possible NOT to connect and i listed results here... works 100% everytime..

Guess it's my turn to ask for some help. I keep getting failed while negotiating errors. I,ve tried with and without router. I'm on cable with a Motorola SB5100and a Belkin wireless G router. Don't know what else to add. I changed the inf file as per the tutorial. Help is appreciated. TIA.

1) Has it ever worked?

2) Real serial port or USB->serial adapter?

3) Home-made cable, Tivo cable w/null modem adapter, or 9th Tee cable?

4) How long since your last WORKING call in?

5) What is your dial prefix set to?

6) Did you try slowing it down from 115,200 to something less? And if so, did you change both settings (the dial prefix and the computer setting) ?

[bobrap]

No, never worked. About three weeks since last call. Took it to a friends house. Real serial port, 9th tee cable. Dial prefix ,#211. Haven't tried slowing it down. Guess I need to give it a try. Thanks for the reply.

[bobrap]

Seems I got lucky. Iam now able to connect :up: :) I tried lowering speed and still failed. Raised it back to 115,200 and also changed the port speed in control panel. Made the test call ok and then connected to DVR service and all went smooth. Thanks for everyones help and ideas. :D :D :D :D

The longer it goes w/o a call in the more cr*p it has to send during the "negotiating" phase - it seems. So once you get it to connect, the easier it seems to be the next time. If you have problems just call in regular and it seems to go a lot smoother.

AFAIK the cr*p it sends is stuff like what you have recorded, your season passes, etc.

ive been reading a lot of these posts with noone getting any real anwsers.. just new things to try .... so heres my 2 cents....

first off make sure you make the approiate changes to you c:\windows\inf\mdmhayes.inf file before doing ANYHTING

1 . make sure you edit the mdmhayes.inf file, delete the mdmhayes.pnf file and reboot BEFORE you set up your modem and connection

2 make sure mdmhayes.pnf exists in your windows/inf directory. if it does not .. delete the modem you created and the coonection and recreate them.

3 unplug any usb devices connected to your tivo (just to test)

4 i have read alot and havent seen anyone mention this if some one has im sorry i overlooked it ..but if you have hacked your tivo . to enable hmo.mrv..usb.etc... make sure you didnt prevent tivo from calling home.. (How can it connect it you set it not to :D)

5 make sure you add the , before #211 eg ,#211.

6 if you are not even getting to the negotiating status unplug the serial cable from the tivo and start up a hyper terminal and connect using the approiate com port... and shout out the connector on the mini plug while simetanieously sending data through the hyperterminal and hit enter.... while shorting the points.. it show return small bits of data.

I'm slightly confused about #2. Also, when I click on properties to get to flow control, it won't open.

[cactus46]

Hi cherry ghost,

Your modem properties will not open for the modem you created? Can you tell us a little more about your setup--computer, router, serial port or adapter, Dial Prefix, serial cable?

Keep us posted.

John

Hi GTZ,

Welcome to the thread. I'm sure your post will help many of our members. Thanks for posting it.

Unfortunately, with so many variations in computers, hardware, applications, etc. it is hard to find one size fits all! And I applaud your effort. You highlighted many important points.

Happy TiVoing! :)

I'll answer what I can.

Dell 4550
Motorola sb5100
serial cable that came with TIVO plus null modem adapter and gender bender
,#211


I think my problem is either the COM port or IP address

The modem properties opened the first time, but after that connection failed I tried again and then the modem properties would not open.

[cactus46]

Hi cherry ghost,

From your computer, a Dell 4550 it appears that you have a normal RS-232 port that you are using.

It appears some application, modem, or port preempted your serial/PPP modem. What does the Device Manager say about your modems and ports. Are there any conflicts? I would disable the unnecessary modems and ports at least for a test.

Verify that the appropriate changes are in your mdmhayes.inf file. Delete the mdmhayes.pnf file (and delete the files in the Recycle Bin), delete the modem and the Incoming connection and set it up again.

Give it a test and let us know if anything changed.

Keep us posted.

John

I did a system restore so I can start over on the mdmhayes files. I don't think this was the problem, but I'm trying anyways. I think the problem may be the IP address. My IP looks nothing like the examples I've seen here.

[cherry ghost]

I started over and still no luck. During the test call, the "preparing" and "dialing" succeed with no problem, but then it shows "connecting" for about 3 minutes and then I get "failed. service unavailable". During this 3 minutes, the "incoming connections" shows "1 client connected" and the "unauthenticated user" shows "connected".

Hi cherry ghost,

Are you using a router with your SB5100? What IP address is handed to your computer? Did you assign static IP addresses to your Incoming Connection? Other than that it looks like you've done most of the right things by looking at the log, i.e. the changes were made to the .inf file and protocol looks correct.

Get back to us with the IP information and router details.

John,

I finally got it working. Thanks for all your help.

[cactus46]

Hi cherry ghost,

Hey, that's good news. Somehow I knew your persistence would find the answer. Thanks for the update.

Happy TiVoing. :)

John

John,

I finally got it working. Thanks for all your help.

[aust7]

I've got a question related to this...but i've been unable to find specific help with this.

I am setting up a PPP connection through an RS232 adapter. I followed the directions to do this. However, when I attempt to add a new modem, I click "Communication between two computers" and hit "next". However, I can find it in the next window. It says "selected ports", but there is nothing there. Is there a workaround for this? Basically, how do i add a new modem when i am plugged into a USB port (via a serial adapter)? Thanks!

Austin

[cactus46]

Hi Austin,

What USB-serial adapter are you using--manufacturer and part number? Did a driver CD come with the adapter? When the adapter is plugged in, what do you see in the device manager under ports?

Tell us what you have.

John

[aust7]

Hey John,

OK, so I have installed the driver and gone through the whole setup. However, when I try to connect, fails because there is "No Dial Tone". Here is the log I can see:

Hi Austin,

"No Dialtone" would indicate that you don't have a valid Dial Prefix on the TiVo, i.e. ,#211 for 115Kb.

The modem error which is in bold below indicates that the USB-serial adapter was not plugged in at the time the computer was turned on.

So to summarize, be sure the adapter is plugged into the same port as you set the modem up on when the computer is booted.

Plug in the adapter, reboot the computer, verify the Dial Prefix in the TiVo, make a Test Call and a Daily Call, and send us another modem log.

Also, it may be helpful to tell us a little about your setup:

Computer and operating system?

IP address assigned to computer? (192.168.xxx.xxx or other)

Static IP addresses assigned to Incoming Connection? (such as 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.9)

Serial cable? [9th Tee, homemade, shipped with TiVo with added adapters, etc.]

Broadband cable, DSL?

Router brand and part number?

USB-serial adapter brand and part number?

Keep us posted.

John


Now I get a "service not answering". Here is my current log.

I purchased the adapter on eBay, here is the link to the item. I could not find any more info on it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5816635668&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

I did everything else you said. I have the port speed set to 115,200 in both cases. Here are the logs....

This is with a static IP assigned (192.168.1.128 to 192.168.1.129):

Hi Austin,

Take a look at the following thread about Omar's experience with an adapter purchased on eBay: http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=234610

I don't think any of the members here have gotten serial/PPP to work with dynamic IP addresses. I would recommend two static IP addresses based on your computer's IP address of 192.168.1.108 and 192.168.1.109.

But from your log it looks like you are making progress.

Good luck and keep us posted.

John

OK...here is an update. First off, here are some details:

[some deleted]
>>IP address assigned to computer? (192.168.xxx.xxx or other)
192.168.1.103

Static IP addresses assigned to Incoming Connection? (such as 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.9)
I am trying both (static and dynamic)<<

>>USB-serial adapter brand and part number?
I purchased the adapter on eBay, here is the link to the item. I could not find any more info on it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5816635668&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1<<

I did everything else you said. I have the port speed set to 115,200 in both cases. Here are the logs....

John,


My Serial/PPP connection is now working! Thanks so much for you help and advice. Turns out it was the eBay USB/Serial adapter. I switched it with a Dynex one from Best Buy and it works great. I would never have guesses it! I'm just happy its working.

thanks again,
Austin

[cactus46]

Hi Austin,

I like to read posts like yours! I'm glad you were able to narrow it down to the USB-serial adapter.

Thanks for the update and happy TiVoing! :)

[Calabria04]

Help me please. I have been trying to get this PPP thing to work for about 3 weeks now. I have read everything I can find. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the network connection many times.

Here is what I am working with
Cable from 9th Tee
Router Linksys RT31P2 I have vonage
RCA DVR40

I can get a connection for a about 3 min and then it fails at negotiating.

I have it set for 2 IP addresses but I am not sure I am setting those right. Might need help with this

Here is a copy of my log for my last test call

Hi Calabria04,

Perhaps if you could tell us a little more about your system, it would be helpful:

Computer and operating system?

IP address assigned to computer? (192.168.xxx.xxx or other)

Static IP addresses assigned to Incoming Connection? (such as 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.9)

Serial cable? 9th Tee

Broadband cable, DSL? Cable modem

Router brand and part number? RT31P2

USB-serial adapter brand and part number or does your computer have a normal serial port?

From your modem log, your changes to the mdmhayes.inf look good, the modem protocol looks OK, the 9th Tee TiVo serial null modem cable looks OK. However, the modem log shows that the connection still needs work. It may be just an issue of IP addresses?

Keep us posted.

John

[Calabria04]

Ok I am running XP SP2

9th Tee cable, Cable Modem, RT31P2.

My IP address is 192.168.15.101
I am getting the IP address from Local Area Connection Status->Support tab. (I am not sure it this is right. I think that might be my problem.)

Going off what I think is my IP I set the 2 IP's to 192.168.15.102 and 192.168.15.103

Computer has a normal serial port.


Again thanks for helping.

[cactus46]

Hi Calabria04,

Your computer address is 192.168.15.101. I would agree with your view. Were the two static IP addresses assigned before you sent the modem log? I don't know how many devices you have on your network but I think I might try addresses 192.168.15.107 and 192.168.15.108 for your Incoming Connection. Your Vonage might be using 192.168.15.102 or another device?

Then try another Daily Call and let's see another modem log.

Keep us posted.

John

You can normally open a command prompt (start/run/ cmd ) and then do

IPCONFIG / ALL

to see the machine's IP, mask, and gateway.

While at the prompt, try pinging the other IPs you want to use for the PPP connection

ping 192.168.15.102

ping 192.168.15.103

to be sure there are no devices on your network with those. No ping reply is not a 100% guarantee there is nothing there, but a ping reply is 100% certain that you can't use that IP.

The .15. sub-net is pretty rare ( in my experience) for most routers. They seem to mostly want to use 192.168.0.??? or 192.168.1.??? - but maybe they moved on to these other sub-nets to prevent conflicts???

DennisHi, Dennis.

Some routers are using 192.168.15.xxx now, including a number of the routers for Vonage. SMC is using 192.168.2.xxx, also.

I expect it's for the reason you say, to avoid conflicts.

[Calabria04]

I just want to say thank you guys very much for all the help. Especially cactus46!!! :) I did what you said and changed the IP address and it worked like a charm this morning.

It was the .15 on my IP address that was making me think I wasn't looking at the right IP but I guess it must be because I have Vonage.

Non the less again thanks for all the help. Now I can make all the calls I want without getting a phone line.

Hi John,

Sorry to bug you again but when I got home today to try my RCA DVR40 to call over the PPP it didn't work. I didn't change to the settings. I don't know if it makes a difference but I have not made a call on this Tivo in over 330 days. But I get kinda the same thing as before. It craps out at the negotiating part after about 3 min.

This morning I got my new HD Tivo to make the call out and that is the important one. I would just like to get the SD Tivo to make the call and get rid of the nag screen.

Here is a copy of my logs for the day. Maybe you can see something...cause I am totally lost on this one. Again thank you very much....and yes you are right there is a great group of people on the board.

Hi Spencer,

I'm a little confused. Serial/PPP works on one TiVo but not the other one? You are telling us that the RCA DVR40 is not calling but the HDTiVo is making calls with serial/PPP? Is the RCA DVR40 a hacked TiVo? Is there any differences in the hardware used to make the serial/PPP calls--different serial cables, computers, etc.?

Keep us posted.

John

[Calabria04]

Absolutely no difference in hardware, the HDTiVo made the call and the RCA will not over PPP. The RCA is not hacked that is why I am very confused. Any ideas?

Spencer

[cactus46]

Hi Spencer,

Since there is no difference in hardware, computer, etc. Try removing the power from the RCA again. And after a power-up, try a Test Call.

If the Test Call doesn't work, try putting a delay into the RCA TiVo Dial Prefix of ,#211, [that's the ,#211 with a comma or two at the end] for a delay. It must be a timing issue or ? If it works with one TiVo, it should definitely work with the other TiVo!

Does a Test Call work? Try the Dial Prefix change and let us know.

John

I assume you moved the cable from the working Tivo over to the RCA and tried that (in case you had a bad cable) ?

You said it had been well over 300 days since the RCA had last called in. In my experience the longer it goes the more everything must be "perfect" for it to work. It saves a ton of junk to send in when you finally do connect and it can timeout if your connection speed is too slow - or have errors if you have a less than optimum setup. For a box that has been a LONG time between calls slowing the serial speed down may help with any errors but can cause the link to timeout before everything is sent. Once this data has been sent it is cleared so future calls go much quicker - unless you wait a long time until the next call. So the temptation when it does not work is to slow the serial speed down, but this may keep it from working as well. On one box of mine that I let go way too long (nearly a year) it uploaded several MEGS once I got it to connect IIRC. You said it sits for "about 3 minutes" before it fails - sounds just like mine would do when it was trying to send too much stuff. Watch on the network connections page until the new connection comes up, then double click on it to get the details. If the box is sending out a lot of data you will see the byte count going up and up. If it does that and then still times out and fails then it may be too much data in too little time?

If everything else is OK, you might have to take your box to someone with a land-line phone and have it modem in to clear the box out. You don't need a sat connection, just a display to see what you are doing and a clean phone line.

Just FYI, one of my SD D* Tivos had not called in for 14 days and I did it PPP tonight - right at 240k of data was sent out of the Tivo to the network. If the number of days to data ratio is linear, that would mean 300 days would need to send more than 5mb up. The longer you wait between calls, the harder it can be to get it to work.

Another note, the HD Tivos do not seem to send NEARLY as much data as the SD Tivos do.

Dennis

[Calabria04]

Well guys thanks for all your ideas but right now none of them seem to work. I have tried to add the comma's. I tried to slow it down to 9600. No luck.

I am going to take a break for awhile and enjoy my new HD Tivo. I might just have to take the SD Tivo over to a friends like you said Dennis. It might just have too much info on it but as long as it works I am fine.

Thanks again guys

[cactus46]

Hi Spencer,

Did you power down the RCA for a couple of minutes and re-boot it? Sometimes this clears up miscellaneous problems.

Good luck.

John

[dwynne]

As another point of reference, I had another SD DTivo that went 28 days or so w/o a call in and it sent over 500kb (more than 1/2 a meg) of data during the "negotiating" step.

Once you get that stuff cleared out, regular call-ins become easy and take very little time.

Dennis

[KrazyKevin]

Ok guys another problem child here. Have everything setup as the guide I read. Hyper terminal gives me about 6 lines of jibberish, thats it. On all my attempts, I get a connection to my pc, but tivo hangs in the negotiating stage. This last attempt as I was typing this, I got to a part that it was setting clock. Never had got that far before. Then it disconnected. As I am now typing I tried another test call and it went through within 1min total. WTF!!!!!! Now I'm trying to make a daily call. Cross fingers!!!! In case this doesn't work, here was my modem log that got to "setting clock":

[KrazyKevin]

Whoo hooo. Everything went fine. I'm at 6.2 and happy as ever. But,,,,, I tried dialing in when I got in from work this morning just to see if I could do it again and no go. Messed around with it for a few hours and this is what I found. For me to get the connection to work, I have to go from telling it to use a ip range, to use the dhcp, and then put it back at a selected range. Basically I couldn't get it to work using dhcp. I selected a manual ip block. i chose 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.20. It still won't work. But if I select DHCP, try a test call, then put it back on the selected IP range, and try again it works every time. I have no clue why, but it works. So, if any of you are having this kind of trouble, give this a shot.

There're some great tips and suggestions here and I've read through all of them, all 20 pages, plus the links to other threads and various search results. I've done about 5 days of research here and I'm at my end. I don't know what else I can check. I have my laptop, a Dell D610 and a serial cable I put together myself from the diagrams provided for pins 2-3-5 and the mini-jack with some cat5. I've verified that the cable has 100% continuity with my multimeter. In HyperTerminal, I've also been able to see the text from the Tivo, a HR10-250, but the modemlog file indicates that it doesn't know how to respond to the text it's receiving. I've seen the posts from others showing their logs where the PC says 'Ring' and all mine does is an unknown. I'll post my mdmhayes file and the modemlog file next. I've verified that all the port speed settings and etc match and I've disabled the firewall in XP (which enabled me to magically see a Linux internet gateway). Hopefully someone here will have an idea or spot for me to check.

Hi Kilamon,

It looks like the mdmhayes.pnf file was not deleted or if it was, it has come back to haunt your connection. Try deleting the mdmhayes.pnf file again and empty the Recycle Bin and then reboot. And finally, try another Test Call.

Let us know what happens.

John

[Kilamon]

I deleted the pnf file originally and I haven't seen it since (unless I right click my newly edited inf file and use 'install'). I just tried again after emptying my bit bucket and rebooting and I still get the same error. I've re-verified, triple and quadruple checked the inf file but it just isn't working to interpret the tilde as a ring.

[cactus46]

I'm sure the .pnf file is hiding somewhere on your computer. That is the file which is recompiled from the mdmhayes.inf file and the mdmhayes.pnf file is read by the computer on reboot. It is also a 'hidden' file. So I would do a search for it making sure that "Show Hidden Files" is active. If Windows XP can't find the mdmhayes.pnf file and you have a mdmhayes.inf file and are using the "Communications cable between two computers", then a new .pnf file is created. If the setup hasn't been properly completed, then there is a chance that a new .pnf file isn't created either.

As an alternative suggestion, you may want to delete everything and begin a new PPP/serial connection. This has worked for many of us, too. Delete the modem, the Incoming Connection, the mdmhayes.pnf and verify the changes in the mdmhayes.inf file in that order. Then setup the new modem, and Incoming Connection, in that order.

Keep us posted.

John

[Kilamon]

The PNF wasn't there actually. However, as you suggested, I deleted all the connections for the modem and the incoming network and started over leaving only the com port alone, though I checked it's settings again just to be sure. Prior to starting all the reinstall, I made sure the inf file was there and there were no copies or etc, as recommended. A quick reboot, and (with the appropiate INF mods in place) a reinstall of the connections, and a test call was successful. The installation of the objects for the network and modem create the PNF file based on, I'm guessing, the mods as made. Something somehow prevented answering previously even though I could swear it was all exactly the same. It must be the order that things are done in since when I figured out about the mods to the inf file, as they weren't mentioned in the original howto that I read, I already had made my connections. Deleting them both, not something I had done, and recreating them with the file in place seems to have worked. I have done this now on 3 computers, 2 of which are using a Belkin USB to Serial converter.

Thanks for the help! Guess I should have paid attention to the order of things (edit file, ensure no pnf,reboot, install modem, network).

I have found the more I do it, the more likely I am to mess something up :o The first time I read each step and did it in order, the next time I used it as more of a guide, eventually just used it for a "reference". I would have had less trouble if I had read it and done the instructions step-by-step each time :rolleyes:

Hi Kilamon,

I think you now have a working serial/PPP connection if I am reading this correctly. Congratulations and it looks like your persitence worked for you.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have a Series 1 Sony SVR-2000. The serial connection works fine when I connect my ethernet directly from the Linksys cable modem to the back of my XP computer. (I use a static IP address, same as the computers). Now I installed a Linksys Router and have the ethernet going from there to the computer. I changed the IP address to 198.168.1.104 to 198.168.1.105 and the connection fails during the test call. I can get the daily call to work by going back to the computer directly, but I want to use the router. Any ideas? Thank you.

[KrazyKevin]

Have you tried it using DHCP? I know I got mine to work by:

1. Selecting a ip range, like 192.168.1.105 to 192.168.1.110
2. Trying the call.
3. Then taking out the ip range in step 1 and selecting DHCP.
4. Try the call again.
5. Now deselect DHCP and put in your rane like above and try once more.

I have no idea why, or what, but, I know it worked for me. Just atleast give it a shot.

[JackRazz]

I'm trying to get tivo to connect via the serial connection to my serial port (lightning cooked my modem). I'm not having any luck.

First, before going any further, a newbie question. Do I need a router? I don't want to use WinGate or Kerio WinRoute Firewall software as they are just as expensive as a router.

Some particulars on my PC setup.
- I made my own serial cable (30 feet long) connected to a standard serial port.
- I'm using WinXP SP2 with the default firewall. No Internet Connection Sharing.
- Again, no router, just a speedstreem 5100 dsl modem from SBC.
- I'm getting a 'unauthenticated user' with my incoming connection during the test call.
- When I make a test call, Tivo says 'Failed: Service Unavailable'

I've included my log file and ipconfig info below. The whole IP address stuff is confusing to me. I have assigned a specific TCP/IP address of 68.88.234.11 - 68.88.234.112 to my incoming connection. I'm planning on getting a Linksys WRT54GS (on sale for $40 after rebates at the moment).


Thanks for a great thread everyone.

A minor worthless correction to the above. I cannot the Linksys GS for $40, it's the standard $60.

[cactus46]

Hi JackRazz,

"First, before going any further, a newbie question. Do I need a router? I don't want to use WinGate or Kerio WinRoute Firewall software as they are just as expensive as a router."

Since you wish to avoid other NAT approaches, yes, you need a router.

Put a router into your setup and come back for more help if you need it.

Keep us posted.

John

[JackRazz]

John,
Thanks for the reply. I'll go ahead and buy myself a linksys WRT54GS and hopefully fix my tivo, which ran out of schedule data last monday.

[JackRazz]

cactus46,
thanks for the help the other day. I now have a router and everything worked on the first try.

I tested at 9600, then the 115 and both succeded. I then went and updated my completely empty schedule data. All good.

One question. If there is a transfer error, can it make it thru Tivo's error correction and screw my tivo up? Or, if it works, all is ok at that setting?

[dwynne]

As far as I know, there is some kind of error checking (CRC, checksum, etc) on the data so the Tivo would not use it in case of on error. I don't recall every hearing of anyone hosing their Tivo due to something like this happening.

You can double click on the transfer session while it is running through your PC and watch for errors and troubles. Higher speed does you know good if it has errors and has to stop and resend.

dwynne, thanks for the tip on checking. I'll monitor a few transfers and look for errors. I might go ahead and just slow it down a bit to be on the safe side. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get my serial port IRman to work since I used up my only serial port. Damn same winxp can't see the ps/2 port as a com port.

[cactus46]

Hi JackRazz,

Glad to hear the router got your TiVo up and running again.

I don't know anything about the error correction with the data going into the TiVo. However, I would agree that there has to be some error correction as Dennis has posted. There really wouldn't be any difference in the data via telephone or via serial/PPP except for data speed.

Also, any data resend has been transparent to me and I have never experienced any negative results from serial/PPP to my knowledge. Is the 115k too fast for you? :)

hey cactus,
It's kinda funny, after running out of schedule data and having so many trouble before getting the router, I was expecting a long download. I checked 5 minutes later and it had already finished download and was into the processing stage already.

I was only concerned about the 115K rates because I didn't want to have too many errors during transfer. Although CRC error detection does work, it can miss one on rare occasions and I don't know how gracefully the tivo processing software handles bad data when updating its database.

Hi Jack,

Serial/PPP is a big step up from the phone line approach at 115k. An even bigger step up in speed is a direct network connection. Again, I have used all three approaches--phone line, serial/PPP, and direct network connection with a TurboNet card or a network adapter. And I don't ever remember any corrupted data from any of those sources. As a matter of fact there haven't been any threads with this complaint brought to my attention.

I'm guessing that TiVo has excellent error correction routines in place or we might have seen more corruption complaints. So my suggestion is let your concern pass and enjoy your TiVo at the 115k serial/PPP rate. :)

Hey Cactus,
It's good to hear your experiences it this as it shows that errors of this are rare (if at all). I'll just leave it and let rip.

Thanks - Jack

Hi All,

I'm having serial PPP connection problems. My old setup was working fine, so I know it is not my serial adapter or anything like that. I recently switched routers (my new one is a router and modem all in one). Since I migrated, I've attempted to change the static IP address so it will work on my new setup. When I try to make a daily call, it gets to the "connecting" phase and then fails. I have disabled the windows firewall and the problem remains. Here is my log:

Here is some more info. My router is a 801.11G ZyXel. Its IP is 192.168.1.1 and my computer's IP is 192.168.1.33 (this is the only computer on the network right now). My router says it has a " Size of Client IP Pool" of 32. Any recommendations for a static IP? Any other ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Is there a way to do PPP using a wireless setup? I have an R-10 and a wireless G router. Just hate to have to either move the computer from one room or try and find a long enough cable. TIA :) :confused:

[cactus46]

Hi Austin,

Since your client pool is 32, I wonder if your computer IP is at the bottom or top of the client pool? Anyway, first I might try addresses 192.168.1.39 and 192.168.1.40 and if that doesn't work try something in the neighborhood of 192.168.1.20 and 192.168.1.21.

Keep us posted.

John

Like several others, I've been fighting the serial PPP connection (modem quit working) and had no luck. I used the information at "Tivohelp.com" and here on this forum. After many hours of flustration, I found the answer-at least for me.

I had the cable correct, the modem set-up correctly, the incoming connection setup correctly, the IP addresses set up correctly and I was connecting but always getting a "failure to connect" or "service unavailable". Finally, I went back to "Tivohelp.com" and looked at the steps for connecting serial PPP and then looked at setting up a connection in Windows XP on my computer. I noticed that the step on "Tivohelp.com" said select "Accept Incoming Connections" in one of the set-up steps for "Create a new connection". I thought to myself, that doesn't sound right, why not select "Connect directly to another computer"? After all, the Tivo is a computer. I did that, chose "Host" for my computer, set the IP addresses at 192.168.0.120 and 192.168.0.122, and did all other steps the same as before. I tried it and it worked first time at 115, 200 baud rate. All other setup steps were the same-,#211, etc.

Hope this helps someone. All the hours I wasted! :)

[EdsTivos]

I finally got my connection to work thanks to you guys.

The original guide was great and easy to follow.

I was able to connect after seeing on the forums about setting an IP range of 2 and it connected quickly easily.

I've been guidelesss on my Phillips Series 1 for 5 months thanks to Damn Digital Phone.

All things are great now and once again thank you all. :)

[Badtz]

I'm now stumped about my Serial PPP connection, I need some ideas.

I've been using PPP for about a year now. First with my Directivo, now I have an HD Directivo HR10-250. When I swapped tivos, I just hooked the cables up and everything worked, no problems at all.

At some point in the past 2 weeks, it's stopped working. I haven't done anything to my PC outside of putting in a new video card, and that was a while ago. I know the cable is working, because I can see the tivo attempting to connect in my modem log. However, it just never connects. This is what happens, in the log:

Any ideas on this? It's driving me crazy, because since nothing has changed, I can't see any reason why the tivo shouldn't be able to call out.

[cactus46]

Hi Badtz,

Is this your annual serial/PPP problem? :) The log looks almost the same as when it failed a year ago.

The only thing that comes to mind is a firewall or IP address conflict. Do you have another TiVo to test it on? You could try to re-do the changes to the mdmhayes.inf and .pnf files. Could the cable between the TiVo and the computer have been damaged?

Keep us posted.

Hi Badtz,

Is this your annual serial/PPP problem? :) The log looks almost the same as when it failed a year ago.

I know! Its exactly a year, which is interesting. Last time tho, I had never gotten it to work. It's been functioning happily now for a year, and over 3 months with the new Tivo.

Thanks for pointing out the similarities tho, because I went back and looked at that first log. They're not just similar, they are exactly the same. I fixed it that time by adding commas to the dial string. I think I'll try that tonight, and also try some slower speeds. I do also have my old tivo in the closet, so I could try it out and see if it works.

After reading through most of this thread, I've finally been able to at least get through the "negotiating" and "connecting" phase on PPP - only to now fail every time at "preparing data" while "hanging up."

My cable seems good; I'm seeing the unregistered user pop up. I've hard-entered two IP addresses for the Tivo (which is what got me through the negotiating) stage. But now I'm at a loss...can anyone help? We have VOIP and haven't made a successful call in almost 400 days, which wouldn't be a big deal except now we're getting a slo-mo problem because of our outdated software. I'm desperate!

And can someone let me know how to post my modem log if necessary?

Thanks in advance.

I would post the modem log and let the experts (not me :rolleyes: ) take a look.

I can tell you that the longer you go w/o a call the harder it gets to make it work since there is more junk to send. I posted somewhere in the thread how much it was for xx days on my boxes. For more than 400 days I would guess it is a TON and you may be timing out.

Have you tried test calls (not a daily call)? Does that work or do you get the same thing?

You can double click on the incoming call and see how much data is going each way. See if the box is trying to send a lot of stuff and timing out.

Are you running at full speed (115,200) ?

The test calls are where I keep getting stuck - I can't even get to a daily call because I can't change the dialing prefix permanently until I make it through the test call. However, I just powered everything off, and the dialing changes stuck - so now I'm trying a daily call. Fingers crossed.

I'm running at full speed - 115,200 - but have tried several different ones with no luck. There's definitely a lot more being sent then being received, but things seem to be going in both directions until it times out or fails while preparing data.

How do I get a modem log to post? Not sure where to find it...

Thanks!

I'm having the same issue now as smittypros.
I also can't get to the daily call as Tivo is still trying to test my "phone" connection.
My connection times out at about 3 minutes 5 seconds, with some where in the range of >5000 bytes sent, <500 bytes received.

It's a bit frustrating as it was working perfectly for 10 months, and now nothing.

[smittypros]

Well, the daily call lasted for about an hour and fifteen minutes before it "failed while loading series data." My modem log from earlier today is below; I'm in the middle of another call now, and the log looks pretty much the same. Would greatly appreciate any ideas - thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get through the loading data portion of the daily call while using PPP through serial? Is this a problem with the call or with the hard drive in my DTivo? I'm getting desperate...the slo-mo problem because of the old software is getting worse.

Thanks.

[j3ramy]

OK my serial worked for a few days,
then D*Tivo got an upgrade from 3. to 6.2.
Since then it fails when it hits the Configuring stage,
and does not make it past there, only change has been the OS upgrade,

I have redone the Incoming connections, .inf and deleted the pnf files rebooted.
Rebooted the tivo unit. Re ran the cable, re terminated the ends cleaned up the connections. still fails when hits configuring.

Makes it through the connecting, negotiating. stages fine,
???

[cactus46]

It looks like you are trying to download an system upgrade? What versions of software are you running? And what is your model number?

Keep us posted.

Just thought I'd share the problem that was holding me back. It was all about the flow control.

The instructions said to:
"...click on the General Tab, select the "communications cable.." and hit properties. Then set the Flow Control to "None"."

For some reason nothing would happen when I clicked on properties (works now, strangely enough), so I ignored it. Bad idea.
So I eventually changed it in the Phone and Modem settings, in the properties menu for "communication cable...", advanced tab - > Change Default Preferences -> Flow Control = None.

Thanks to GAS34 who addressed this in post #121, and any others who posted about this (I didn't read all 21 pages, just what I needed to get this to work).

[ducats05]

Ok, what the hell.
I'm getting desperate, here's my latest modem log from two failed calls this morning. The first I manually disconnected when I saw that it was getting nowhere, the second timed out at 3:05 like always.
Does anyone see anything obvious?
I'm starting to consider reordering my local phone service. Carrying Tivo to a neighbors house to make a phone call is getting a little tedious!
Thanks in advance.

It looks like you are trying to download an system upgrade? What versions of software are you running? And what is your model number?

Keep us posted.

John

Thanks, John - yes, I am trying to download 6.2 (we currently have 3.1.1 and are having the slo-mo problems that have been chronicled elsewhere).

I'm just about at my wit's end; I was making it all the way through the download on PPP through serial ("phone" would hang up), but then it would fail while loading data every single time. I then tried suggestions for that problem from other threads, including a clear and delete - which locked up the DTivo altogether so that it basically just died.

So, the good news - DirecTV just sent us a "new" refurbished one, the Samsung model. BUT, the bad news - it still only has 3.1.1 on it!!! I figured the loading data problem was something with the hard drive on our old one - but I'm now having the exact same problem with the one they just sent us. I've tried both phone and PPP - either way, make it through the download, get to the "loading series data" and then fail.

Any ideas??? I'm losing my mind - can't believe they sent us another one with the same software and that now I might need yet another replacement model!!

Thanks in advance.

The problem did not appear to be with PPP/serial connections. With as much data that your downloaded, it looked like the whole software upgrade. Did you try a simple power-off reboot? It may be a hard drive going bad. Also, a ups, uniterruptible power supply, is highly recommended by most of us.

Beyond that I might try a kick-start approach with the old unit. That reloads the software from the backup partition on the hard drive. And if there are hard drive problems, this could also cause more problems but worth a try in my opinion.

I don't think you will have the same problem with the new unit. PPP/serial should work fine with it.

I know things will work out for you.

Keep us posted.

It seems to be doing the same thing with the new unit, even with PPP/serial - gets all the way through downloading, just to fail while loading. Should I try powering off right after it finishes downloading? And how exactly do I go about kick-starting it if necessary? At this point, there's not much saved on the new unit, so I'm willing to try just about anything.

Thanks again for your help...I feel like I'm losing my mind!

[cactus46]

Sorry to read that you are experiencing this. It seems there are several members trying to upgrade to 6.2 having a problem with the downloads. I wonder if it might be a DTV problem?

It looks like from your previous log that you have two complete downloads of the 6.2 software. I think I would pull the power cord, wait a minute or so and plug it back in and see what it does. Normally the upgrade it waits until the middle of the night and then does its own reset but you can force it by removing the power and rebooting.

If you don't need to Kickstart the unit, then it is probably better to leave it alone. Also, the Kickstart link I had is now non-working and I don't remember the specifics. I don't think this is an issue is with serial/PPP; you would probably experience the same problem had you downloaded the upgrade with a regular telephone!

If you can't get the software to load by rebooting, then I'll see if I can find some old references to the kickstart routine.

I'm back after 4 months of my PPP serial working perfectly. Cactus, thanks again for all your help back then.

New problem:

I'm planning on rearranging my setup and the Tivo will be much farther from my computer. How far apart can I go and how do I get a longer cable?

Hi cherry ghost,

I wonder how far from the computer are you planning to move your TiVo. 9th Tee has a 10' null modem cable. It seems other members have gone up to 50' but this may require a slower modem speed than 115kb. I might try to contact 9th Tee for a longer cable if you aren't handy at making your own.

So I am not sure how far one could go with a serial null-modem cable but I would guess one could go over a hundred feet with speed reduction? Try it and let us know.

John


I'm back after 4 months of my PPP serial working perfectly. Cactus, thanks again for all your help back then.

New problem:

I'm planning on rearranging my setup and the Tivo will be much farther from my computer. How far apart can I go and how do I get a longer cable?

[cactus46]

Hi acura1,

From your log I see a couple of things. One, the ~ is not recognized as a ring which may mean that the changes to the mdmhayes.inf file weren't recognized. Perhaps a copy of the old mdmhayes.pnf file was pulled back from the Recycle Bin after you deleted it? There are a few possibilities here why the changes aren't recognized.

The second problem is the Flow control needs to be set to "None" on the "modem" you have created. "ctsfl=1, rtsctl=2" indicates it is set for "Hardware" now.

Keep us posted.

John

I wonder how far from the computer are you planning to move your TiVo. 9th Tee has a 10' null modem cable. It seems other members have gone up to 50' but this may require a slower modem speed than 115kb. I might try to contact 9th Tee for a longer cable if you aren't handy at making your own.


50' is the standard answer for "how long can a serial cable be". There are some details here (and other sites) about using slower speeds for longer runs - and using CAT-5 (network cable) to go farther w/o a slow down:

http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/RS-232_specs.html

A computer company I worked for years ago made cables for us to install at customer's locations that were much, much longer than 50' and they worked just fine for serial terminals. It is all in the design of the cable that is used.

The one I'm using is the one that came with my Tivo, about 10'. The new one would have to be about 50' if I want to run it along the wall and have it connected at all times, or about 30' if I run it across the room and only connect it every few days.

[cactus46]

Hi acura1,

There is something not quite right about your setup. If it were me, I would start the whole process from the beginning. I use this page as my reference but there may be better instruction out there: http://www.tivohelp.com/archive/tivohelp.swiki.net/45.html

When you start, be sure to make the changes to the mdmhayes.inf file (without creating a backup file in the C:\Window\inf), delete the mdmhayes.pnf file (and be sure to empty the Recycle Bin if it is active) before rebooting the computer. Also, assign two IP addresses within the network mask of your router.

If you have any questions about this process, please let us know and keep us posted.

John

Something else to try with serial/PPP connection failures

Please avoid uninstalling but rather disable your antivirus software instead.

One of our members asked for help via a PM to me. After a couple of exchanges about his failing connection and a few suggestions, he un-installed his antivirus and his connection then worked.

"I just wanted to let you know that I got the thing to work, finally. I deleted my anti virus program (eTrust EZ Antivirus) from my computer and the call went through with no problem. I then loaded it back on. I guess that if I do this once a month or so things should be fine."

I thought this might be helpful to others reading these posts. Disabling the antivirus program for a test is worth while in my opinion.

[cactus46]

Hi acura1,

I recommend disabling rather than uninstalling your antivirus software. It worked for the other member but it is easier to 'disable' the software for a test than to uninstall the antivirus software. And after the test if can be re-enabled.

There is more involved with your situation because your log doesn't show any connection. Also, it appears that there is a problem with your mdmhayes.inf file. Perhaps, I could send you a copy of my mdmhayes.inf file renamed to mdmhayes.txt to you via a PM (private message)? And then we could proceed from there.

Keep us posted.

John

Hi cherry ghost,

I wonder how far from the computer are you planning to move your TiVo. 9th Tee has a 10' null modem cable. It seems other members have gone up to 50' but this may require a slower modem speed than 115kb. I might try to contact 9th Tee for a longer cable if you aren't handy at making your own.

So I am not sure how far one could go with a serial null-modem cable but I would guess one could go over a hundred feet with speed reduction? Try it and let us know.

John


I haven't contacted 9th yet, but I will if the answer to this is no. Is it possible to use some kind of extension cable and plug it into the one I'm currently using? If not, what kind of wire am I looking for at Radio Shack? Thanks.


Edit: Nevermind, bought one of these http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103868&cp=&kw=mini+stereo+extension&parentPage=search
and everything works.

Glad it worked for you. It was definitely worth a try!

I had one question - I configured everything for the PPP Serial way of udpating my DIRECTIVO and when I do the "test call" it connects and succeeds. However, when I do the "Connect to DVR", it dials and tries to connect but fails. Why is that? I have tried it many times. The strange thing is that it does the test call but fails when I ask it to connect to DVR - it fails.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi amahdi,

I really don't know without more detail. Could it be your antivirus software? Can you either PM a copy of your modem log after a Test Call and a Daily Call or post it here?

You can try disabling your antivirus software for a Daily Call and re-enable it after the call and see if this makes a difference.

Keep us posted.

I was surprised it did work. Thanks again for the various suggestions.

[Bratcop]

Can't get the PPP to work. I am hoping someone might be able to help me. Here are my details

Sony SAT-T60 Series one
Cat5 Serial Cable with radio shack parts (used the diagram here for wiring)
Computer is Win 2000 professional
NO router, just using Cable modem to Win 2K
I am sharing the internet connection (ICS), which I believe forces the Win 2K to act as the router. I have assigned a range of 3 IP's, one of which is always the one assigned by Win 2K to the NIC that I connect to the hub (when it is connected).


I have read this whole post and fixed a number of my mistakes myself, but am stumped...

On test call... I fail at Negotiating every time. I show the connection as active on my 2k machine, and even see data being sent back and forth, but alas, it still fails. Negotiating lasts maybe 2 minutes before failing.

I have tried at two speeds, 115k and 56k(making sure to change them at all 3 places, as well as the tivo prefix!)

for the test calls, no AV, no Firewall, No spyware detection...just the basics

Here is my Log...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I only want my cell phone and this seems like the way to go (if I could just get it working)

Thanks, Bratcop.

Also, for the record, Cactus, you are a godsend to all of us struggling with this! Thanks in advance!

[cactus46]

Thanks for the kind words, Bratcop. :)

Your use of Internet Connection Sharing adds a layer of complexity to the issue since I am lacking experience with it. However, from your log it appears that the serial connection is there. But I'm wondering if a firewall might be causing problems? Also, disable your antivirus software for testing a Daily Call.

You want to avoid giving the Incoming Connection the static IP addresses that might be used on another piece of hardware such as your NIC. If your ICS assigns addresses 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.25 for an example, I would assign static IP addresses 192.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.16 to the Incoming Connection. It only needs to static IP addresses.

If you post here, it might be a good idea to send me a private message, PM, to let me know. I'm not following the posts so closely now.

Keep us posted.

John

Just an update.....

I had everything right, except I was using Internet Connection Sharing. I acquired a router, set the IP range to a range of 3 addresses, w/i a couple of what the internet connection utilized. Ran a test call at 9600, then 57600. Man did that rock. Thanks for the response, and thanks to all the others who spend time on here posting questions and answers. Information is power and I appear so much smarter because of the knowledge I gain from places like this. It truly is a service to many. Thanks again.

Bratcop

[cactus46]

Thanks for the update, Bratcop. It is always exciting to see our members getting their serial/PPP working!

[saqqy]

Let me start by saying that my old Philips Tivo with the 3.0 software has been updating through the serial port for almost a year now, connected to a laptop computer via a USB to Serial adapter. The laptop is wireless connected to my router running @ 192.168.123.254. The laptop's IP address is 192.168.123.101.

Some time after April 2nd (last successful call), it stopped working. I didn't even notice till yesterday. My connection setup has not changed, and there have been no hardware/software changes on the laptop through which it was connected. The error is Failed (Service unavailable) or something similar, I'm at work and can't remember.

The Tivo DOES connect to the computer, I see the Unauthorized user connect, there is a little bit of data transfer, maybe 5,000 bytes, then it disconnects. I deleted the Incoming connection and watched the COM port with Hyperterm. I do see the Tivo connect with ~, spit out 5-6 lines of garbage, and send two User Requests, then eventually hang up. I have set the Incoming Connection to static IPs in the range of 192.168.123.109 & 110. While the Tivo is connecting and I see the Unauthorized connection, I can ping .110 from the laptop and other computers on the router. Therefore Tivo is connected to the LAN although briefly. I have set .110 on DMZ, have also completely disabled the router's firewall, neither help.

I've doublechecked the settings, checked my mdmhayes.inf, made sure to delete the PNF and reboot. Deleted the modem and readded it. Tried 9600 and 115200 (what it was using before)

So naturally I thought something happened with the USB to Serial adapter for the laptop and connected through a desktop computer instead, same error, same symptoms. It still pops up with the Unauthorized connection and I can ping it when it's trying to connect.

Therefore it appears that the serial cable (original Philips 1/8th to Serial) and the null modem adapter I bought are still working. It does not appear to be the network setup since I can ping the Tivo while it's trying to connect. It does not appear to be the serial ports themselves since I get the same error on 2 different computers. I've ruled out the firewall by disabling it on the comp and router.

At this point, I'm only left with the option that the Tivo is not working properly or that the PPP service is not available (not likely). I have reset the Tivo through the menu and power cycled it by unplugging it. I no longer have a phone line to hook up and see if the Tivo's modem is working. My modem log is as follows.

Hi saqqy,

It looks like your log is from a Test Call. But it might be firewall on the computer or possibly antivirus related? Try to disable any firewall and antivirus for a test. Try a couple of different IP addresses in the range for a test, too. Otherwise, most aspects of your log look normal.

A line like this does not look normal and is why I say firewall or perhaps antivirus:

04-14-2006 16:59:53.292 - Recv: <ff>}#<c0>!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&<ff><ff>$9}'}"}(}"<da>}]~

A sequence from an old working log of my looks like this:

06-02-2005 14:15:47.141 - Recv: ~
06-02-2005 14:15:47.141 - Interpreted response: Ring
06-02-2005 14:15:47.171 - Recv: <ff>
06-02-2005 14:15:47.171 - Unknown Response
06-02-2005 14:15:47.171 - Recv: }#<c0>!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&} } <ff><ff>}'}"}(}"_}9~

So after the ~ (ring) is recognized, then a <ff> character should occur by itself in a working call.

I hope some of this helps. Sorry, it can't be more specific. You put have put a lot of effort into a resolution. Keep us posted.

John

PS My connections work without DMZ setup in the router. Try disabling the DMZ for a test, too.

[saqqy]

hello! quick reply.

i'm at my tv right now. It's not a firewall issue. I disabled the router's firewall. There's no AV software whatsoever, this is a brand new install of WinXP with the built in firewall off. It shouldn't be the firewall, from what I've read Tivo updates on port 80.

I can't get the <ff> to show up in it's own line. It's always <ff>}#<c0>!}! after the ~ line. I tried lowering it to 9600 and adding a wait after the ,#211 but neither helped.

If I change the specified IP addresses to something not on my subnet (192.168.0.xx) then I get 2 different lines in my modemlog, I do get those "Read" lines inbetween Data Compression and Hanging up lines.

Now it may be a bad router. I actually changed the IP range of the incoming connection to USED ip address and neither computer reported any conflicts. Which makes me think that the router is refusing the connection from the Tivo. The strange thing is that the Tivo responds to pings when it's on a free IP address, which lets me know they are atleast connected through the HUB part of the router.

Is there anyway for me to specify the gateway for the tivo w/o installing tivoweb?

edit: i'm on software 3.0-01-1-000, in the system information: Dial-in Configuration Code is 000, TFA=0. Can you let me know what yours says there?

[cactus46]

Hi saqqy,

My TiVo's software is the same and Dial-in Configuration doesn't really matter because we aren't using the internal TiVo modem to make our connections. TFA=0 really means you can't use an 800# to get TiVo updates.

"Is there anyway for me to specify the gateway for the tivo w/o installing tivoweb?" I don't know. But with normal serial/PPP this is not an issue.

With the suggestion to try a different IP address, my approach would be to try within the routers subnet. A bad router would be unusual. However, if you have another one you could try, it would be worth a test. Also, I have no port forwarding in my router and most things are mostly default in my router.

Do you have another computer handy to set up serial/PPP for a test? Also, is the serial cable making a good connection? We can see one-way communication on the cable anyway. Was the USB-serial cable plugged in when the computer was booted?

John

PS I see by re-reading your original post you did try it on another computer. Another thought: when was your last "successful" update according to the system information? And if you are confident about your serial connection, then I am, too. Did you try a TiVo reboot? A router reboot might be worth a try, too.

[saqqy]

hey again.

I'm about ready to give up. I think the cable is ok cause it seems ok through Hyperterm and the modem log atleast shows connections.

I am keeping it on the same subnet, but it just isn't working. I have tried on another computer. I really think the router isn't the issue. I'm leaning towards the tivo itself. I'm going to try to take the tivo to a friend's house to try the regular phone dial-in connection.

Ive tried router reboots as well as rebooting the tivo from the power cord and in the menu options.

[saqqy]

Took the tivo to my parent's house today, plugged in the phone line, dialed in just fine. After the update loaded, unplugged the phone cable, then added the ,#211 prefix, and updated via serial with a wifi connection.

When I got home, using the same usb to serial adapter and laptop, i was not able to connect. Tried a different router even and that still didn't work.

I'm confused...

[smittypros]

Just wanted to drop a quick line to say thanks again to John for his efforts to try to help with our PPP problem. Our old unit ended up basically dying (think you must have been right about the hard drive going bad), so we got a new one - but of course, DirecTV sent us one with the same old software on it. Tried to do PPP again with the "new" unit to get 6.2, and had the exact same problem..."failed while loading data."

But, happy ending - after another 45 days or so with no successful call, I just decided to check again, and it apparently updated to 6.2 over the satellite a couple of weeks ago (it hasn't been connected to phone or PPP at all in the last month). And, for kicks, I figured I'd see if PPP would work now that it's been updated - and it does! Just completed our first successful call in 15 months.

6.2 is much, much better.

Anyway, thanks again for all your help!

The problem did not appear to be with PPP/serial connections. With as much data that your downloaded, it looked like the whole software upgrade. Did you try a simple power-off reboot? It may be a hard drive going bad. Also, a ups, uniterruptible power supply, is highly recommended by most of us.

Beyond that I might try a kick-start approach with the old unit. That reloads the software from the backup partition on the hard drive. And if there are hard drive problems, this could also cause more problems but worth a try in my opinion.

I don't think you will have the same problem with the new unit. PPP/serial should work fine with it.

I know things will work out for you.

Keep us posted.

John

From the look of things, the ~ isn't being interpreted as a ring, but my mdmhayes.inf file looks right to me. Anyone have any ideas?

[dwynne]

From the look of things, the ~ isn't being interpreted as a ring, but my mdmhayes.inf file looks right to me. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you do this step?

After you save this inf file, delete the corresponding pnf file (c:\windows\inf\mdmhayes.pnf), and reboot XP.


I missed that once when setting this up on a new laptop and it ignored the inf changes until I followed the step.

Yup. I even went back and did it a second time, thinking I had missed it.

[cactus46]

Hi saqqy,

Was it the same computer at your parents place and at your place that you you used your serial/PPP? If it was the same computer, then I would think it relates to the router or ISP.

Keep us posted.

John

[cactus46]

Hi strowger,

Is your Recycle Bin active? Sometimes deleted files are called back into active service from the Recycle Bin.

Also, it is a good idea not to back up the '.pnf' file anywhere as it can always be restored from the mdmhayes.inf file.

Your changes to the mdmhayes.inf file look OK.

Keep us posted.

John

Yup. I even went back and did it a second time, thinking I had missed it.

Got it working! I'm not sure what exactly the problem was, but I pulled out the modem entry and the network connection and put them back again and it started working.

You people are so much better at fixing these problems than we can remotely! :)

Glad you got it working!

Well I had my connection working, but I turned on the XP firewall, and afterwards my ppp connection won't work. After tinkering around, I got back to the point where it is time to create the incoming connection. At that point I get:
"Incoming Connections depend on the Routing and Remote Access service which was unable to start." ..........Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
[/I]
In my case the win xp error message "Incoming Connections depend on the Routing and Remote Access service which was unable to start" appeared (after a real long wait, one thinks XP is hanging) because the serial port/modem was not installed or defined.
In my case it is a bluetooth serial port and I have to completely install the port and the modem and 'connect' the BT port first, before I can succesfully install incomming connections that can be used by a Palm Treo 650. The same is true for my USB serial port to my Tivo. It has to be installed, exist and pluged in etc., both the port and the null modem, before installing an advanced connection.

Ok, that worked the first time. However, I could not get incoming connections working the second time I tried it. I presume XP gets into an error state once instalation does not work. Some trial and error, like the above, will get it out of that state sometimes.
What worked for me the second time, is enabling and disabling (or vice versa if already enabled) Internet Connection Sharing on the advanced properties tab of a connection. Some working network will do, such as an Ethernet connection in Network Connections.
Booting inbetween enable/disable does not hurt. And I did remove all the incoming stuff first (and booted). After that my bluetooth virtual serial port and modem and its incomming connection install went smoothly. Dick99999

[Dick]

I have my DTivos working just fine through my new laptop and cheap USB->converter. The problem is that every time I reboot or shutdown XP Pro forgets the incoming connection settings. So the next time I want to have the DTivos phone home I have to run through the wizard again. It already pretty much knows all the answer, but it is still a pain. Another laptop running XP Home (and a real serial port) does not have this problem - and my older laptop running Win2k did not either.

Ring any bells with anyone?

Thanks,
Dennis
Same here on on my 'Tivo' laptop, however not on my biz laptop. It helps to uncheck the com port in incommoming connections/properties before unplugging the USB port. And next time checking the com port after plugging in the usb port.
But even then, I sometimes have to go to a complete incomming set up.

The checking / uchecking has another advantage: It auto connects Tivo over serial , without rebooting XP, if the following line is replaced in the mdmhayes.inf file. That line is a kind of init connection string for Tivo or any other PPP serial connection. Proceed with the usual steps of deleting .pnf and rebooting before this changes takes effect.
It has been working about 3 years in my case.

In the Null-Modem section replace one line:
HKR, Init, 1,, "None"
by
HKR, Init, 1,, "~<hff>}#<hc0>!}!}!} }4}<h22>}&
} } } } }%}&<hff><hff><hd2><h81>}'}<h22>}(}<h22>'<ha1>~"

It's one single line! Set bowser window at full. No space after &
Don't know how to get it on one line in this group web page.

Any ideas? I did replace my router/switch recently, but that didn't affect anything else on my network. What's going on?

[yoneltx]

well, if nothing else has changed but your router, maybe is a firewall issue. Not really sure. What about your cable? Has it been compromised? Looks like the connection was made but it was then shutdown. Try to disable your firewall, and try to connect. Other than that, mybe change the ip range for your connection.

:( I am new to this forum. I have a Philips 212 Standalone TIVO. For about a year I've been connecting via an external modem for updates. Unfortunately, it died about a week ago. I want to do updates using PPP and serial. I have a Linksys wireless router with Bellsouth DSL. I followed the Otto guide to the "T". I have checked, double-checked, triple-checked, and on-and-on the mdmhayes.inf file, making sure multiple times that I deleted the corresponding pnf file, emptying the recycle bin before restarting XP. I am stuck in the make a test call phase and it always fails at the connection step. The connection seems to be made because the "Unauthorized user" appears, exchanges data and lasts about 3 mins before failing. I have tried every suggestion I thought applied that I've seen in this forum with no luck. I've tried assigning 2 specific IP address and allowing automatic assignment with DHCP. I've tried the "Accept incoming connections" and the "Connect directly to another computer" options. I tried allow and don't allow VPN. (My laptop has VPN for school which I turn off before trying this.) I have eTrust Internet Security Suite which I temporarily turn off during this process. I thought it might be my Linksys router so I borrowed my mom's Verizon wireless card and turned off my router. I got the same results with that. Unfortunately, her laptop doesn't have a serial port or I would test it on her computer. I also tried different speeds without luck. Can anyone help? Here is the latest modem log from my computer.

Can't anyone help? I've lost my programming guide!

[cactus46]

Hi dmayspa,

Your log looks like a firewall issue either in Windows, in the router or perhaps elsewhere. Usually, this line-- 05-18-2006 21:19:34.318 - Recv: <ff>}#<c0>!}!
in a working connection it would like this: 05-18-2006 14:15:47.171 - Recv: <ff> and the rest of the line would be on another line.

I hope this points you in a useful direction.

John

[tom10422]

I am trying to setup PPP on Windows 2000 for my HR10-250. After following the instructions, my TiVo reports "Failed while configuring.". It seems to be talking to the machine at least, just not getting any data reported in the log. I also notice I'm getting the TSP messages which is supposed to be bad. How does one get rid of those beyond redoing the machine? Or does someone else see something in the log below that I should look at:

Hi tom10422,

The TSP lines would either indicate a hardware/interrupt request conflict or perhaps some software conflict. If you have an internal modem, you might try disabling it or be sure the modem port isn't sharing with some other device. Perhaps the COM port was set up for someother applications still loading on the computer?

Keep us posted.

John

[tom10422]

There isn't an internal modem in the machine. Don't see anything out of the ordinary running either. However, not ruling that out. I did a packet trace and noticed the machine is hitting a TiVo web server which reports an error that the length of the post data must be specified. Thinking I might have the MTU problem that has been mentioned in other threads and it lost that during the request.

[cactus46]

See if you can find another log file created when you boot like the "ModemLog_Communications cable between two computers.txt" that is created. This may give you a clue where the TSP conflict is originating.

IIRC, computer-to-PDA connections make these TSP entries, too. Try disabling the "Remote Access Connection Manager" and setting "Routing and Remote Access" services to manual. These can be found in the Start\Programs\Administrative Tools\Services. And if this still gives you problems, I would start the process from the beginning.

Keep us posted.

Well, couldn't resolve the TSP entires in the log (its a home theater PC and doesn't have much on it). However, looked at the packet trace closer and found out the error was coming from the firewall. Turning off the Squid service allowed the TiVo to dial out just fine. Now, I just need to add the IP addresses in the Squid exclusion list, so I can leave it on.

[2001Series1]

After two days of working on trying to get the Serial PPP to work on my 2001 Phillips Series 1 TIVO, I finally succeeded this evening (on my last day of guide data). Thanks to all of the posts here - they definitely helped.

Now, I have a strange problem...the TIVO shows that I have program guide data through 6/20, but for some reason the TIVO doesn't seem to be able to read the program titles. When I try to pick programs to record using "search for titles" their are no titles found. If I browse by time, all of the programming information appears (including the titles).

Anyone encountered this? Any easy solution?

[2001Series1]

...seems it was just a very long indexing process. It took somewhere between 10 and 18 hours. When I got home from work the TIVO was working fine, and all program titles show up in searches, etc.

[cactus46]

Hi 2001Series1,

When you have many channels to index, it can take a long time. I'm glad you were patient.

Congratulations on your serial/PPP success!

John

...seems it was just a very long indexing process. It took somewhere between 10 and 18 hours. When I got home from work the TIVO was working fine, and all program titles show up in searches, etc.

[tbhausen]

EDIT: Added more concise info today.

I've had serial PPP working for over a year now, but wiped my PC and started over. I've triple-checked everything but never see an incoming connection when making a test call. I've tried the mdmhayes file from oztivo, my own edited version, and one PM'ed from here (thanks, John) and simply can't get the XP box to recognize (or at least report) any incoming connection in the connections dialog.

I finally ended up using a mdmhayes.inf from this thread. I deleted the .pnf, rebooted, and set up the modem from scratch. Here's the pertinent section of the mdmhayes.inf:

Here's the results of an ipconfig /all. This XP box is connected to a Windows Small Business Server 2003 box which does the DHCP (it has two NIC's). This setup was working before. I've tried 192.168.16.24, 25, and fourth octet pairs around 50, 100, and the highest possible (253 and 254). Nothing seems to help.

Here's the log file (a test call followed by a daily call)--I'm tearing my hair out! A year or more ago I was the one giving advice here--now I'm stumped. I thought I'd solved the problem when I found the "Guest" account disabled (since I'd joined our company's doman?) but re-enabling the "Guest" account didn't help (I even started over). I even added another "Guest" account on our domain. Please take a moment to help me out if you can--my PG is about to expire and I'm just at a total loss as to what could be wrong.

Hi Todd,

It looks like a firewall or IP issue to me. Your mdmhayes.inf changes look OK. Your setup seems somewhat complex and if it worked before it should work again if there weren't any changes.

If I had a spare router sitting around. I might try to connect it to the server and try to set it up using the router instead of the server. [Server--->router--->PC--->TiVo] And assign the static IPs for the routers parameters. Just a thought.

Hope you find something.

John

John,

I should have mentioned that I wiped the server, too. I can't remember doing anything special on the server side when I had PPP working before, but with the server doing the NAT, should I have to open any ports, reserve IP's, etc.? Also, is there a way to get the MAC address of the HR10-250? I think I need it to reserve IP's (if that's necessary).

Thanks for the help--I'm not giving up until this works again! Unless DTV brings out that MP4 HD box and swaps me, as rumored...

Hi Todd,

I'm really out of my element in your setup with the server. Since we are talking about serial port to serial port communications from the TiVo to the PC, how is a MAC address relevant? Isn't a MAC address associated with a NIC?

In your PC setup when you assign static IPs those should be compatible with the subnet mask of the router or in your case the server. I suppose I might try a DHCP setting instead of the static IPs for a test in your case.

Also, it might be worth temporarily shutting down the firewalls and antivirus software for a test, too.

Keep us posted.

I assume you are using the SB server as a firewall for your PC and network? What are you using on it to do the "router" and firewall function? ISA server or something else? ISA server ships will all ports closed until you allow them open, so it could very well be that is the problem.

You don't have to know the MAC address to reserve an IP, just reserve the IP in the DHCP server (use all 0's for the MAC or whatever) then assign the IP to the box manually - turn off DHCP in it. The MAC is only needed if you leave DHCP on and the lease expires, then if the MAC were wrong it would not hand the box back the same IP.

In this case, your PC assigns the IP to the Tivo and not the DHCP server.

In hindsight, you should have wiped the PC then re-tested and got it to work, then re-done the server. Then you would know which part was bad.

As was mentioned, pick up a wired or even wireless Internet router on sale someplace (nearly free after rebate now) or borrow one. Take the server out of the picture and use the router to get your PC on the web, then see about getting the Tivo working. Once you have that going, you could then remove the router and re-insert the server back in and see what happens.

If you don't want to do that or have access to a router, then put your PC directly on the web (using the Internet side IP of the server) and see if you can get it to go.

Finally got the new notebook I mentioned and gave this another shot. Long story short--still no go. After trying nearly everything (again) I inspected my cable (again) and it turned out that the screw head for the ring conductor was shorting (barely) against the inside of the screw-on shell (which short-circuited the ring to the sleeve). Much ado over nothing--thanks to all who offered suggestions. Hopefully, they'll be useful to others in the future.

I was able to get my previous problem (about 20 messages back) fixed by selecting a fixed pair of IP addresses for my PPP connection that falls outside of my router's normal DHCP range. I'm not sure why this worked, but I won't argue with success.

But since I've actually got three HR10-250s and three PCs in my house, I have moved on to TiVo #2 to set it up the same way. Using the lessons I learned to get PPP working on TiVo #1, I set up the second unit identically (as far as I can tell). Now test calls and new phone number calls work perfectly over PPP on both TiVos. But TiVo #2 cannot seem to complete a daily call- allways quitting several minutes into the "Configuring" step. TiVo #1 always gets through the call completely.

Does anyone have any idea why two seemingly identical HR10-250s would act differently in this way?

When I look at the network traffic for the connection, all data flow seems to stop as soon as TiVo #2 hits "Configuring". It eventually times out. But again, test calls and calls for new phone numbers always go through perfectly.

To troubleshoot, I've tried everything I can think of except for swapping the two HR10-250s to see if the problem follows the TiVo, or the computer it is connected to. I'll try that next.

I would swap the cables and if that does not help, then as you said, swap the PCs.

That's good news, Todd. Thanks for the update.

Trying every possible combination, I've proven that the problem follows the computer, not the cable or the TiVo. Turning the PC's firewall off does not affect the problem.

The problematic computer is actually a laptop (IBM T42) using a Dynex USB to RS-232 dongle for serial connection to the HR10-250. This seems to indicate that this combination is somehow giving unreliable serial communications. It appears to work fine on very short calls, but not on the longer, daily calls. And yes, I've also tried every baud rate from 19,200kbps up to the maximum, with the same results.

I may have to go out and buy a different USB to RS-232 adapter to see if that is the cause. Otherwise I'm baffled.

No luck. A different brand of USB to serial adapter makes no difference.

Summary to date (from my earlier posts): My laptop PPP connection always stalls at "Configuring" when doing a daily call but test calls always work. Turning off the firewall doesn't help. A different (desktop) PC that I have never stalls with any type of call. I've tried both PCs (laptop and desktop) with two different HR10-250s and the problem follows the laptop computer, not the TiVo.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? What the heck happens at D* during TiVo "Configuring" that doesn't happen during a test call or a call for new phone numbers?

[cactus46]

Hi dkaleita,

There have been several USB-RS232 adapaters, especially ones bought on eBay that have connectivity problems. What adapter did you try for the second one?

This is the one that works for me when I use serial/PPP: http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GUC232A

Someone else suggested a model sold by RadioShack worked for them elsewhere in this thread. So all I can say about these adapters is they are not all created equal. Also, I have found the adapter must be connected to the computer when it is turned on and since yours is getting to "Configuring" , I guess your adapter is. It sounds like a timing issue in your adapter.

Good luck.

John

Could use some help. Been working on a serial connection for days now.

Here's the log file... It indicates something about write permissions and read-only on /ttyDSS. Any thoughts?

Hi tec007,

What initialization string are you using on the TiVo? Is this a "hacked TiVo"? What is the TiVos model number? Your modem log shows the computer is set for 115 Kb.

Generally speaking your TiVo is not saying what the pc connection is looking for, i.e. a ~.

Keep us posted.

John

Could use some help. Been working on a serial connection for days now.

Here's the log file... It indicates something about write permissions and read-only on /ttyDSS. Any thoughts?

[Log deleted]

[tec007]

Hey John,

It's a partially zippered HR10-250. I got to the point of connecting the USB/NIC only to find out the model wouldn't work. So now I'm attempting to connect via serial to finish the zipper.

Under ipconfig the modem isn't showing either. ANY help would be great.

Tried ,#211 and ,#211,, as the prefix. Tried various speeds with matching prefixs.

Interesting: I get the same log wether I create an Incoming Connection or not. Creating just the modem gives the same log.

[rbautch]

Sounds like you might be trying to gain bash access through a serial connection, not trying to get your Tivo to make a call to the mothership over a serial connection. The former is what this thread's all about. For the later, just connect the cable and connect with hyperterminal. I can't remember the hyperterminal settings off hand, but they're posted several times in the forums here. If you have trouble, your next post should be in one of those threads. Don't give up!

AAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! I came from the Zipper thread.... wow, really starting to regret the whole tivo hack thing. Now it's a matter of pride to get it to work.

[rpdre1]

here's a good walkthrough:

http://www.geocities.com/mlm19811999/tivo_serial_bash.html

once you connect to the tivo, press enter to get a bash prompt.

tip: don't press enter too early in the boot process (the gray screen) or the tivo will stop booting and give you a password prompt for the PROM menu

Got the rest of the script installed... thanks to everyone for your help.

Note to self... when trying to just get the bash prompt one doesn't need to set up for PPP connection. That could have saved a few days and several new grey hairs.

[dwynne]

Related question:

If you have installed hacks on your Tivo and have bash and/or Telnet access via the serial port how do you turn that OFF if you want to have the box call in via PPP?

The box in question has the "thinks it just called in" hack installed, but from time to time I would like to have it really phone home via PPP.

Thanks,
Dennis

Hello PPP experts... I am in need of help. I am a long time reader and love the site.

I am trying to set up my HR10-250 with PPP becasue I can't get past negotiating when I use the modem. It is has been over a year since I have made a call and I want to get it ready for the 6.3 update.

I have followed the steps to the tee... and now I am still getting stuck at negotiating! Here is my log output...

Here are the specifics...

using a serial cable I made, connecting on my laptop to the serial port on my port expander, internet is through a dlink router using wireless, I have the IP hard coded to 192.168.0.110 and 111.

Any help on this would be great....

[swroberts]

Never posted here before, but I got my serial/PPP HR10-250 working by just reading through all the replies. Just wanted to thank all that have put in the time to respond to posts. You guys are pretty fantastic. Steve

[rhufty]

I tried using the tutorial from Otto which is posted in this thread to set up a ppp connection to my HR10-250 through my laptop. I bought a serial tivo cable (weaknees) and a gender adapter and a null modem adapter. I went through all of the steps at the beginning to create a new modem with the cable and it say that Windows was unable to create this modem. The connection does show up under device manager but is not enabled… and when I try to enable, it searches for install software w/out success. The cable does not show up under the modem dialogue box. Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong. Are there any settings I need to change prior to setting up the modem? Thanks.

[tspalgpf]

I seem to be very close to getting this thing working. I get the status of <Unauthenticated User> and I can see his ip address is 192.168.0.10, and the server is 192.168.0.9 - via the netstat -ar command I can see 192.168.0.9 is being allocated, but not 192.168.0.10. The negotiation does not complete, as you can see below. The tivo dial prefix is ,#257.

I have a Series 1 Sony SVR-2000 unit with software version 3.0-01-1-010. Do I have the option of using the serial cable hack? Bash or not? I have switched to Broadvoice VOIP service and the telephone connection option with the dialing prefix codes are not working (,#019 - I get err of no connection made). If I do have the serial cable option, which is more certain to work? I am technical but I prefer not to get into another project.

[Adam1115]

FYI for those who have hacked, partially hacked, attempted to hack, etc. It's very likely you either have BASH enabled, or have DSSCON=TRUE set resulting in messages dumping over the serial port. Both of which will prevent PPP from working...

[dwynne]

If so, how does one disable bash and/or DSSCON ?

Dennis

[Adam1115]

Dennis

I don't get it. If you're going to go as far as pulling the drive to disable the serial port, why not just ENABLE bash and networking, then you won't need PPP... :confused:

Hi Ben,

Yes, it looks like your computer isn't seeing any serial activity. Can you tell us a little more about your hardware? Serial port or USB serial adapter cable? Is this your complete log? I don't see the log's preamble.

Keep us posted.

Hi,

I have my computer connected to my DirecTV Tivo, using a TiVo Null Modem Serial Cable that I bought. I am trying to set up Tivo's calls through my computer. Unfortunately, it isn't working. My "Communications cable between two computers" log shows:

My computer seems to be ready for Tivo's call but never seems to receive any data from the Tivo. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I had to delete out the log's preamble. I am a new user of this forum and every time I tried to add the log's preamble, the forum thought I was posting images, which it won't let me do until I have 5 posts.

Also, I am using the TiVo Null Modem Serial Cable that I bought from 9thtee[DOT]com.

Thanks!
Ben

Ok, now that I found a way to get around the forum thinking I am posting image links, here is my full log:
