I cannot comprehend why not. This is what I get for TTFM (Trusting The Fine Manual). I did Google and RTFM. Page 6 of the PDF document at the manufacturer's website... http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_tech.pdf lists the output from a "get help" command ***FOR CURRENT MODELS***. It includes, amongst other items... /sys/ipaddr dhcp|" " On my machine, "get help" produces... Supported configuration options: /ir/target ://: /lineup/location : /sys/copyright /sys/debug /sys/features /sys/hwmodel /sys/model /sys/restart /sys/version /tuner/channel : /tuner/channelmap /tuner/debug /tuner/filter "0x-0x [...]" /tuner/lockkey /tuner/program /tuner/streaminfo /tuner/status /tuner/target : There is no mention of "/sys/ipaddr" ***ON MY MACHINE***. I also remember various people asking on the HDHomerun support forum years ago about IP addresses, and hearing that this model did not have any other addressing options. One correction on the date of my machine. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXmi-6nVhCM which discusses the exact same model I have. I bought mine in 2010, but the reviewer notes that it won some award at CES2008. Consider it a 2008 model. Due to the documentation, and lack of mention of DHCP in "get help", I assumed it wouldn't work. However, just for ####s and giggles, I enabled the DHCP server on my router, set the DHCP address pool to 192.168.123.241-to-192.168.123.247, and expanded my local LAN subnet from a /29 to a /28 like so... config_eth0=" 192.168.123.251/28 broadcast 192.168.123.255" routes_eth0=" default via 192.168.123.254 metric 20 192.168.123.240/28 via 192.168.123.254 metric 0" Notice the lack of a 'modules=( "!iproute2" )' line. I installed the latest firmware update from the manufacturer's website... (hdhomerun_atsc_firmware_20141124.bin). Lo and behold, it actually works, coming up at 192.168.123.241. This is notwithstanding the documentation and "get help" output, which both say nothing about DHCP. Maybe this was a feature that was backported into a firmware update. Anyhow, I apologize for wasting peoples' time. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
