Hi: I would like to set this up for a 'smart' TV in a place with no<br>
internet connection and no network.<br>

Never tried this myself, but I think you want to<br>
use a link-local address.<br>

Thanks for both replies: if I set the TV to auto acquire an IP address it displays (at least this time around) 169.254.33.71, which ties in with Bill's reference. I'll see if I can do anything on that basis.<br>

<br></div><div style>You could set a static in the link local range as well... if the tv is to spec, it will check to see if the address is free before it assigns one, so you shouldn't run into a case where they get the same address. A static IP may be required, I've never run Mythbackend on a box without a one.</div>
