    Broadcast address and Tivo's ip???

    I have just applied sleepers iso to my new drive along with the hacks i got to a point where it asked me for the tivos ip address then the broadcast address then the subnet then the gateway now i know that the subnet is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway is 192.168.0.1 but what should i put for the tivo's ip and the broadcast address what should i put in there, i will be connecting a linksys usb200m usb 2.0 to ethernet adapter and then it will be connected to my linksys 5 port switch.

    Thanks.

    The broadcast address in your case would be 192.168.0.255.
    The IP address of your tivo would be an address that is not currently being used by your PC's/Network equipment. Given the example you provided the 2 addresses out of the question would be 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.255. Do you know what addresses the rest of the equipment on your network reside at? If not you could guess at one like for example 192.168.0.100 and hope that nothing else resides at...

    The range of 192.168.0.100 through 149 will most likely be reserved for DHCP clients assigned by the router. Anything above 150 should be safe. I generally use addresses in the 200 range to guarantee any conflicts.
