Tim:
I have had a problem much like that when mixing 10/100 equipment
due to negotiation issues. I have also seen scans cause that sort of
problem. Are you using a router with nat as a firewall? If not, you
provider could be scanning you for servers on port 80 and locking you
out. Try putting the TiVo behind a firewall.
