Hi Bill :)

Yes, I am Northpoint in the forum. :)

I did the test and it did indeed come back with { "result": 
"192.168.200.1" }

Perhaps I am laboring under some wrong ideas here. Correct me if I am wrong:

1. The address of the card should be 192.168.200.1 for accessing it thru 
the browser and dhcp functions
2. When configuring the card in mythtv make sure you set the ipaddress 
with ifconfig to something else (not 192.168.200.1) so I picked 
192.168.200.2
3 Use the 200.2 address in the backend for each tuner

That is how I took it.

I can access the card in the browser with 192.168.200.1 .

But I am not too sure on which ip to use for the tuner setups. I assumed 
200.2

I will go back to the wiki for cetons and reread. Perhaps Iam missing 
something. ???
