I have a Squeezebox v3 running firmware 81 that I'm using as a wireless
bridge for my TiVo Series 3.  For normal operations, it seemed to be
working fine: getting program listings over the internet, etc.  But
recently TiVo enabled TiVoToGo service for the Series 3s, which allows
me to access the TiVo via my local PCs to share media between the TiVo
and the PC.

I was trying to get it to work last night, and I found that it wasn't
working as optimally as I thought.  First, and I already knew this and
just hadn't bothered to figure it out, the TiVo can't get a DHCP
address from my wired DHCP server, so I have to assign it one
statically.  Second, and more importantly, I have horrible intermittent
connectivity.  Most of the time, I can't get the PC to talk to the TiVo
at all (won't even ping), and, when I can, it's flaky and seems slow,
and I can't seem to access the Squeezebox at the same time (though I
could be wrong about that last part).

I noticed that all the devices on my network see the Squeezebox and the
TiVo at the same MAC address.  That would certainly explain why the DHCP
isn't working correctly, and might be a good reason why the bridge isn't
working right (although it might just be working as a Proxy ARP).

So I guess, first I'd like someone to confirm or deny that the
Squeezebox and the computers behind its wireless bridge should appear
to have the same MAC address, so I can either focus on that or put it
out of my mind.
