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. -- wfaulk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wfaulk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6638 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39842 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
