Dauren,
Question is whether your ATV2 can come online without tethering. Perhaps it's not actually jailbroken?
Try to plug it in and see if it boots without assistance.

Dauren,
If you are on 4.2.1, then by being able to boot without tethering means your ATV2 isn't actually jailbroken and thus the reason you have these issues and are unable to ssh into it.

Yep, I had the same problem first time I did it (no network connection). Start again from scratch - ie restore in itunes and JB again. Not sure what I did differently the second time but it worked fine that time.

Dauren,
Sounds like something gone wrong during your first attempt. Give it another try according to piotr and Nibbsy and let us know if that fixes it for you.
Since you can run PwanageTool. That suggest you are on a Mac. Why not just use Seas0nPass to do everything? That tool works great and makes it very easy. I realize we are in a Windows jailbreaking thread, but I was just curious.

Hi Dauren
I used Seas0nPass in a VM as well to create my IPSW. I then powered off the VM and connected the Apple TV in DFU mode with iREB and restored in iTunes. iREB was what made me able to restore the custom firmware. Also I'd recommend unzipping the IPSW to grab iBSS.k66ap.RELEASE.dfu and kernelcache.release.k66 so that you can use the Windows version of tetheredboot.

Ok, sorry to back track you all, but been at this all night. I used PwnageTool in a VM to create my custom IPSW, and then copied that back to my PC. I run iREB and am able to get my ATV2 into DFU mode (ie, the popup comes up and tells me it was successful.), but the problem is that in iTunes, the Apple TV doesn't show up while in DFU mode? I can plug it in normally and boot it and it shows up in iTunes, but as soon as I try to use iTunes while in DFU mode, there is no AppleTV listed?? I can hear my USB "noise" from windows going off, then on, then off again while doing the iREB process, and if I am watching iTunes, i see it show up and then quickly dissapear as soon as it gets to DFU mode. Am I doing something wrong here?? I *believe* i did a factory restore using iTunes early on in the process when I thought I had it in DFU mode and did a restore without selecting a custom firmware, but from reading this thread that doesn't seem to matter. What should I try?
