Otherwise you'll need nmap to find it (for firmware upgrades etc).</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No, it pulls a new address on every restart of the HDHR. However homerunconfig --discover and the GUI tool both discover it just fine. The only time I needed to know the IP is when I was setting up my prime and wanted to be sure the cablecard paired, so I wanted to use the built in webserver. But I just used hdhomerun --config to see the hostname for the HDHR, and pinged the hostname to get the ip.</div>

When work laptops come home, they PXE boot mythbuntu off the network and run as frontends - no need for USB keys or to touch the laptops' hard disks. That also works well off even just 100mbit links. </div>
