Hi!  My Series 2 Tivo requires a phone line to do guided setup.<br><br><a href="http://tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=406951">http://tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=406951</a><br><br>After that I can configure the Wireless USB Adapter in Networking, but unfortunately with my OS Tivo Version, I supposedly MUST (according to Tivo) have the phone.<br>
<br>I did see a few old posts about using Windows XP Hyperterm and a NULL modem connection from PC to rj11.  <br><br><a href="http://www.b-lan.com/otto/tivo3xp/">http://www.b-lan.com/otto/tivo3xp/</a><br><br>I have a serial null modem cable, but...<br>
<br>a) I don&#39;t have any Serial connection on my Vista<br>b) I have pppd on linux<br>c) I don&#39;t have a rj11 adapter (could go to radio shack?)<br><br>and some for getting around the Guided Setup via a dialout hack using &quot;,401# with a ethernet DHCP connection:<br>

<br>

<br>d) I have only a Wireless USB - not an ethernet one.<br><br><br>1) Anyone have a house with a hardwired phone line and a full boat cable I can do setup with?  (Takes about 5 hours via phone line)?<br><br>2) Other suggestions?<br clear="all">
