What should the broadcast IP # be?
my ip is: 192.168.1.204 and my netmask is 255.255.255.128 (Because I am connected to a linksys router in bridge mode) and my gw is 192.168.1.129
I can ping the router, but nothing past the router. I imagine I need to fix the broadcast IP #.

Subnet ID 192.168.1.128 Subnet Broadcast 192.168.1.255 host address range 192.168.1.129 - 192.168.1.254. There is a great subnet calculator Here (http://www.wildpackets.com/products/free_utilities/ipsubnetcalc/overview).
Also I never saw a response to the question I posted before:
If you get a chance please post your tivo network config that you use on the tivo with the wireless bridge.
Is this a new box that is not working through the bridge, or has the one that was working started failing?

I use a Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G with updated firmware. You can get the instructions & firmware here:
forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=36&threadid=1513386&frmKeyword=&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear
my FA120 rc.sysyinit.author network settings are:
insmod /lib/modules/usbcore.o
insmod /lib/modules/ehci-hcd.o
insmod /lib/modules/ax8817x.o
sleep 10
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.204 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.128
route add default gw 192.168.1.129 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
sleep 10
**Note to connect to the tivo from your PC on the other router you need connect to the wireless bridge via telnet no login & password is your password. Once connected type:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/`route | grep default | awk '{print $NF}'`/proxy_arp
if you restart your bridge for some reason you need to reupdate that as its only stored in ram of the Wireless bridge. Any more help msg me.

Another firmware for the bridge function that alot of people like to is called DD-WRT
Do a google on it.
