However, using static addresses will only work if the HDHomerun can be<br>
talked to first and assigned a static address in that block. I am not<br>
at all sure it has that capability. If it does, use the link-local<br>
addressing to talk to it and assign it a static address, for example<br>
10.99.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.99.0.1. Once it has been<br>
assigned a static address, it will likely stop being able to talk on<br>
the link-local addressing, but would work again once you assigned an<br>
appropriate static address to eth0. To get the HDHomerun back to<br>
working on DHCP or link-local addressing if it would not then talk,<br>
you would need to use its reset button.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_tech.pdf">http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_tech.pdf</a><br></div><div>Note that it states that the hdhomerun takes 20 seconds from link-up until it can be addressed using a link-local address.

<br></div><div>I'd also recommend a static address or a DHCP server. Static addresses can be assigned using hdhomerun_config. Get the hdhomerun working using a link-local address then do:<br>hdhomerun_config <old ip> set /sys/ipaddr “<new ip> <subnet> <gateway>”<br>
