<div><br>Pick
a couple addresses from the 192.168.1 network that you're not already
using. Use one for the Buffalo Technology
Ethernet Converter, and use the other for the MythTV box. They
don't need to be contiguous; I've got my Buffalo Tech box set to <a href="http://192.168.1.50" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">192.168.1.50</a>, but the boxes behind it are at <a href="http://192.168.1.5" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
192.168.1.5</a>, <a href="http://192.168.1.11" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">192.168.1.11</a>, and <a href="http://192.168.1.18" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
192.168.1.18</a>
. The Buffalo Tech box doesn't really care what you're using for addresses as long as they're on the right network.<br><br>Carl Fongheiser</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>
</div></div>Thanks Carl ! I just can't believe it's that easy.<br>
<br>
If only the Buffalo Tech folks had included an example such as yours,<br>
then I would have had no doubt about ordering one of their Converters.<br>
After reading the Buffalo User Manual about four times, the best I could<br>
figure out was that I would have to use MS Windows to set the IP address<br>
of the Converter.<br>
<br>
Now I feel confident that I can go ahead, order a Converter, and hook up<br>
the next MythTV system behind it. Thanks again for your help.<br>
