TiVo Default Gateway
(Article ID: 000899)
In order to set a default IP route on a TiVo so that it can access the Internet, do the following:
NOTE: This assumes the following:
- The TiVo has been modified so that it can be connected to a network and is accessible from a remote system.
- The remote workstation is running a version of Microsoft Windows (95 or higher and can access the same network).
- Open a telnet session with the TiVo (Start>Run>
telnet <TiVo DNS name or IP address>).
- Type
/sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn>and press ENTER.
NOTE:nnn.nnn.nnn.nnnis the IP address of the gateway router you wish to use for Internet access. Also note that TiVo (series 1 anyway) does not have DNS name resolution capabilities so you will have to find out the IP address of your gateway router, not just the DNS name.
This can be used to add any static routes to the TiVo's routing table. The -net parameter is for the network ID and the netmask parameter is the subnet mask of the network ID in question.
