MythTV is a great Linux PVR solution.

Windows XP has a software bridge. Just select both the homepna and the ethernet device right click and bridge. Your homepna machines will now have access to your ethernet machines.

Have been to this site before and received excellent help especially from rw120555. The relevant post at : http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=848911&highlight_key=y&keyword1=laptop%20wireless have come back for the second stage of this setup. I have been able to...

Thank You very Much for your response in this post. I didn't know that there was a performance penalty with the use of an isa network card. I decided to reconfigure my linux box and removed my promise ultra 66 card. After some testing, I found out that there was no significant performance...

I bought one. Works fine so far. Battery life is 2.5 hours. LCD is crisp and clear but ofcourse picture clarity varies from viewing angle due to the nature of the lcd. The only problem I have is that Norton Ghost cannot backup to a CDR although the CDR works under WinXP for recording with...

Its for an old Micron Millenia P200 linux box. Unfortunately, no USB and the only slot available is an ISA slot. Thanks for any info you can provide.

I'll take your advice and start a new thread. Although I have PCI slots they are all used up and I dont have any usb. I may just have to pull out the promise ata card and settle for slower hard drive performance if I cant find a 10/100 isa ethernet card. This project can wait though. If...

I am anxiously waiting for the MR314. Meanwhile I am assembling all the other equipment. I am heaving a hard time finding an isa 10/100 mpbs ethernet card. Neither LInksys or Netgear carry ISA 10/100 mbps. I saw an Intel 100 Pro TX ISA adapter. Do you have any recommendatios for an isa...

Thanks. I jumped on the deal and ordered the MR314 bundle (includes the MA401 pc card). The whole package with shipping and tax is about 160 dollars. I did find out some articles on Linux Network Bridging. I might be able to get it to work there too but it will take more work than in Windwos...

I hope your still online. The netgear MR314 just went on sale and I was wondering if this would fit my network. IT is a cable dsl router but If I can connect the ethernet cable from the WinXP box to it and use it as a wireless access point, this kinda expands my options for the future. It has...

The MR314 went on sale upto midnight tonight. I wonder if this will work just as well. It seems to be a combination wireless access point and router.

Thats a great idea. I was thinking about the same thing but dismissed the idea because I assumed it was impossible hence manufacturers came up with the expensive homepna-ethernet bridge. I have Win XP in one machine but it is the home edition. I can maintain my current setup keeping the...

Looking at various scenarios and prices of equipment I decided that PC4 will be removed from the network to cut costs. I projected the cost for a mixed ethernet /wireless ; mixed hpna / wireless ; and purely wireless solution. They all amount to roughly 250 dollars worth of upgrade. The mixed...

Thank you very much for your time and expertise.:)

Option 1 with a router/switch with a serial port for dialup access is very tempting but from the forum seems risky. Hate to spend all that money when my current system does work. I think option 2 would be better. I have three rooms. Room 1 has a PC1 and PC2. Room 2 has PC3 and Room 3 has...
