Wow. That was a blindingly fast response. Thank you! I'm not using a crossover cable. I'll wire one up tonight and see if it works. I would imagine that the Tivo's connection is always on since its basically just a unix box. I'll report back if I get it working! ss. -- street_samurai __

Thanks, Do you know if there may be any moves to include an option to play stuff from other programs? FAB! I like the idea of using a crossover cable for the time being, as it will probably take me a while to set up the wireless bit. Cheers -- Deaf Cat ___

why don't you use static ip? i find it is more stable generally and is easier to troubleshoot. at a minimum, you always no its address. you can also put it in dns and name it if you have a dns server. On 5/15/05, duhaas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have actually had the same problem, just s
