Hello,
I'm trying to setup my Tivo to use a PPP Serial connection to my Windows XP PC for its "calls to home."
I followed every step listed on http://www.tivohelp.com (click on Establish a Serial Cable Connection with Tivo). I have Tivo software 3.0 or higher, I have a PPP Serial cable w/ null modem adapter (from 9thtee.com), and followed all the troubleshooting steps that applied to me.
My Tivo does connect to my pc, it is assigned an ip address by my Linksys Broadband Router (model BEFW11S4), and in general seems to have no issue communicating with my PC.
Unfortunately my Tivo only says "Negotiating" at the connecting prompt and eventually times out, saying connection failed while negotiating.
I do have a firewall and disabled that just in case it was causing problems, but that failed to resolve the issue.
If anyone has any ideas, helpful advice, or know why I'm having this issue, your help would be most appreciated. Thanks
