I moved a good working PTVnet, (tweaked with bells and whistles) harddrive from one DTivo directly to another and I got a "hardware problem" upon booting, I ended up running a "clear and delete everything" which was the only thing that eliminated that error. At that point I was receiving channels but to enable the NPL it directs me to make a test call but when I try to use the "internet" option it doesn't allow that flexibility as an option. When I go to "setup then the phone option it goes straight to phone line to make a test call request. I don't want to use the phone to make the test call. I followed the PTVnet procedures for

"Configuring to make calls using Internet connection instead of phoneline"

and used telnet to change the "NETWORK_CALL" so it is now "on" (which clearly indicates that I have PTVnet version 1.1 or newer). I rebooted but the Network option still doesn't appear. I then ran the untweak script, did the above again with no difference.

I seem to recall from prior forum browsing that there is a way to bypass this problem.

I really don't want to start over from the very beginning as I've got this drive working great now.

run fakecall.tcl. If that doesn't work (it may be missing some initial values) something like this would probably work :
#!/tvbin/tivosh
set db [dbopen]
RetryTransaction {
set obj [db $db open /State/GeneralConfig]
catch {dbobj $obj remove Configured}
dbobj $obj add Configured 1
dbobj $obj add Configured 257
dbobj $obj add Configured 513
}
Put that into a tcl file of course, set permissions and execute on your tivo.

(by the way, completely wrong forum.)
