[mythtv-users] MythTV Success, Now help me optimize [OFF TOPIC]

[Joe Buehl]

Why is it you want 2 subnets?  If your primary network
is 100baseT and you have an ethernet switch in the
Linksys router (as opposed to a hub) then you should
not have bandwidth problems playing one or two video
streams over the network.  Any downloads from the
internet are going to be limited by the bandwidth of
your cable modem which is a fraction of a 100Mb/sec
LAN.
