<TT>>Ok ive made some progress, i think its an ipv6 problem its very similar </TT><BR>
<TT>>to a problem i had in firefox on another machine i had to disable ipv6 </TT><BR>
<TT>>to get it to load pages.</TT><BR>
<TT>>So on my mythbox when i ping <A HREF="http://nzepg.org">http://nzepg.org</A> it must open a temporary </TT><BR>
<TT>>connection or remember the routing for a set time or something like that </TT><BR>
<TT>>because tv_grab_nz-py works for a few minutes then stops working until </TT><BR>
<TT>>you ping it again.</TT><BR>
<BR>
That sounds like arp cache. When you ping somewhere, it will have in the arp cache the MAC address of the default gateway. Can check with "arp -a". You will see the IP Address of the gateway and MAC address of the device. This will normally remember it for a small time (10 mins) before it will remove it.<BR>
<BR>
<TT>>So i thought is ipv6 is causing the problem then i will just disabled it </TT><BR>
<TT>>like i did in firefox so i disableded ipv6 settings in ubuntu and restarted.</TT><BR>
<TT>>Now tv_grab_nz-py wont work at all, so now i need to set up a ipv6 </TT><BR>
<TT>.tunnel or something like that then i hope it might work, unless someone </TT><BR>
<TT>>else can think of a better solution.</TT><BR>
<BR>
<TT>>Thanks for your help so far.</TT><BR>

You can leave IPv6 disabled. Not much use at the moment unless you have a specific need for it. What does your routing table look like. You can get this with "route -n". Reading through the past posts, it all sounds like an IP configuration problem, NOT a nzepg script problem. So, to help further...<BR>
<BR>
1) What does the routing table look like?<BR>
2) What is your machines IP address?<BR>
3) What is your subnet mask that you are using?<BR>
4) What DNS servers settings have you got?<BR>
5) Who is your ISP?<BR>
6) Is lynx (web browser) installed, and if you so, what happens when you browse for a web page, ie "lynx nzepg.org"<BR>
7) If still not working, what about an output from a trace route. "tracert -n nzepg.org"<BR>
