I have a Philips DSR7000. I have already hacked it and put in a larger HD. I'm considering doing "The Zipper" and I want to network my DTivo but I have a few questions first.
1) I have an XBox branded gaming ethernet bridge for my xbox in my family room and my wireless router is upstairs (all 802.11g), can I just connect a hub and connect both my xbox and my dtivo to the bridge? (The bridge has been flashed to a d-link gaming bridge). I would get the USB/Ethernet adapter and connect my tivo to the hub.
2) If I can do #1, I'm a little confused on the IP addresses, I'm assuming that the DTivo and the xbox will have different ipaddresses?
3) I have WPA security for my network. I see that WEP is supported, but I can't find anything on WPA. Am I out of luck? If so, then its time to run Cat5.

Thanks!

I know nothing about these boxes, so hopefully someone else will chime in. But I'd think you need a unique box per device.

Yes.

No WPA support.

AFAIK, you can use a hub/switch to supply more than one device. DHCP should assign addresses.

Wireless security is totally handled by the bridge.
