Thanks Carl !  I just can't believe it's that easy.

If only the Buffalo Tech folks had included an example such as yours,
then I would have had no doubt about ordering one of their Converters.
After reading the Buffalo User Manual about four times, the best I could
figure out was that I would have to use MS Windows to set the IP address
of the Converter.

Now I feel confident that I can go ahead, order a Converter, and hook up
the next MythTV system behind it.  Thanks again for your help.
