  • Tivo Desktop: Problem with Access Control

    I have 2 TiVos on the LAN, I'll call them A and B. Both are Series 2 DT, one is a wired connection the other wireless, though I don't think that matters. Both have IP addresses and both can connect to the TiVo servers.

    When I look at Access Control in TiVo Desktop, it lists both TiVos but only TiVo-A has an IP address. TiVo-B has the right name but says "address unknown".

    From TiVo-B's "Now Playing", I can see both TiVo-A and the PC (Windows 7), but for the PC it says there are no recordings. So I can't suck programming down from the PC.

    I _can_ use TiVo-B to suck programs from TiVo-A. I _can_ use TiVo-A to suck programs from PC (and I have, so MAK must be right too). As a workaround I could transfer TiVo-A<-PC then TiVo-B<-TiVo-A. But I'd prefer not to.

    Is there a likely reason (and easy fix) for this behaviour in Access Control?

    Thanks!

    Very strange, now TiVo Desktop can see an IP address for both TiVos. I didn't do anything (actually I did plug an external USB drive and pointed TiVo Desktop to it, but I mean I didn't do anything with the TiVo or router).

    I would have though this was just a hiccup, but I've been having this problem for weeks and kept forgetting to post (have been transferring to TiVo-B from TiVo-A instead).

    So while my current difficulty is resolved, I'm still curious if this might be a known problem with an easy fix.

    Thanks!

      I'd try this series of steps to see if it has an effect:
