From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Now if I could only get my TiVo to talk to my wireless router, I'd be happy.

For some reason, no way, no how, will it talk.  It sees the LAN, but
can't/won't pull an IP.

When I assign a static, it says it still can't talk. I've set the D-Link
for simple, basic stuff, no 108mb mode, just straight G mode.  I've entered
the MAC address into the allowed filter page.  The D-Link SAYS the TiVo is
connected, but TiVo says no.

So, for now, I'm riding on some open linksys in the apartment complex.  No
idea where, or who, but it talks on that one.
