getting connected to tivo web

[drgeoff]

Yes it is the right log but I don't see anything relevant. I've just been trying with my own setup and could successfully access TiVoweb via a neighbour's (ahem!) unsecured wifi but my router's log didn't show anything relevant either.

Apologies if this sounds patronising - you are able to access other web sites on your phone aren't you?

Hi
My phone does not always get a signal with the internetin my flat but when I have got one that is when I tried tivo web. Also I have used with other sites, I could give you my ip address and I can always reboot the modem to get another ip address so no one can axes it after you tried it.
thanks

You can do some basic testing without needing a phone or using someone elses connection.

1) Go here: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
2) Click on Proceed
3) In the box under where it says "You may select any service from among those listed above . . ." enter "8075-8085"
4) Click where it say "User Specified Custom Port Probe".
5) After a few seconds you get a report with three columns. Scroll down to the entry for 8080.

If the router is connectly configured it should say:
8080 OPEN! http-alt HTTP Alternate (see port 80 and port 81)

If the router config has a problem then it will say:
8080 Stealth http-alt HTTP Alternate (see port 80 and port 81)

It's worth trying several times because Shields Up! uses a very short timeout and sometimes the TiVo doesn't respond in time.

Thanks drgeoff for trying to get to the bottom of it, I will keep trying to get it to work.
Also I will try the testing thanks brokenstar

Hi
I think It might be working now, it says port open. Could you drgeoff test it on your computer
thanks

Hi there
Been out all day so I haven't had a chance to thank everyone for there info and help. I got port forward for the tivo working. I made a stupid mistake when setting up the port forwarding, I didn't press one of the apply button.

hi there
I am bit confused, I tried round my friends house to get tivoweb and no joy. I checked the port was open and it is, I had the right ip address as well. I am correct in saying I just put the ip address in the web browser? How did you do it drgeoff, could you test it out again if you give you my new ip address?
thanks

You also need to put the port afterwards, e.g. http://212.243.212.56:8080 where the 8080 is the port you have forwarded

Thanks for that
It works fine putting in :8080 I was putting in /8080.
