OK, that worked, sort of: Ethernet adapter Ethernet: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : lan Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 08-00-27-8B-7B-00 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::8d71:6f2a:c986:cb6e%11(Preferred) IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.15(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Friday, July 27, 2018 3:41:19 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Saturday, July 28, 2018 3:41:19 PM Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.2 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.2 DHCPv6 IAID . . . . . . . . . . . : 50855975 DHCPv6 Client DUID. . . . . . . . : 00-01-00-01-22-E6-99-13-08-00-27-8B-7B-00 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.3 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled Then I tried to set up a static lease in the router at 192.16.1.150 (hitherto unused) using the above MAC address. The router bitched at me: "Some fields are invalid, cannot save values!" Rude router. Then I tried it again using Firefox on Windows, and this time I was successful. And finally, I shut down and restarted Windows, but when checked ipconfig again it was still at 10.0.2.15. >What happens when you try to access your HDHomeRun tuner from the >Windows VM guest? It works just fine until I try to play TV. Then the player app announces: "Unable to play channel, all tuners in use." But the setup and config utilities see it fine and can successfully scan for channels. It's just the player app that can't find it, and my guess is that it is because Windows is not on the right network. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
