That was it! I have TV working on the Windows guest as I write this. To accomplish this I shut down Windows, then in Virtualbox under Network I selected Bridged Adapter, and left it at the defaults, except under Promiscuous Mode I selected Allow VMs. When I restarted Windows the player just worked!

If it was designed exclusively for home use, that may well be the case. I think Tomas' suggestion of altering your VM config to use a bridged network instead of NAT is more likely to help. At which point, the DHCP reservation you set up in your router will become effective. -wes ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

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
Re: [PLUG] IP address for a virtual machine?
It is hard to second guess John's setup - so a few ideas to look into: Perhaps the guest VM is behind host VM NAT - that would require either changing the host VM network to Bridge type or setup port forwarding to NAT VM guest (kind of like you would do on your home router if you want to access the network internally) If my assessment is correct, I'd think that the Bridge network setup is easier to do - unless you would like to keep the guest isolated from your home network.

Re: [PLUG] IP address for a virtual machine?
The command line command to get all that information in Windows is 'ipconfig'. I kept getting that mixed up with ifconfig when I use to go back and forth between Window$ and Linux.

[PLUG] IP address for a virtual machine?
I am trying to get a virtual Windows machine to see my HDHomeRun TV tuner, but it fails. I think the problem is that, while the host has an IP address set up in my router, the guest Windows machine does not. The Windows machine can surf the web and see other devices on the network (mine and the internet), but the HDHomeRun device requires that the machine it is on have an IP address. I could set up an IP address for the Windows machine if it had a MAC address or some other way to identify it to the router. Any suggestions? ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
