TivoHD - Wireless Repeater & Tivo Desktop issue

[JustinD]

My tivoHD has always shown marginal wireless strength from my wireless router. It hasn't really been an issue yet, but I thought, given I might use CASPA downloads at some point in the future when I change ISPs, I could augment my network a little. (actually I also did this for my Squeezebox setup too - but I digress).

Anyway, I have been able to setup my TivoHD connecting to my wireless repeater (WRT54G V5 with WRT-DD on repeater-bridge mode). This then connects to my router (WRT54GL with Tomato). It has enabled me to have a stronger signal and tivo service connections, etc operates quicker, etc.

The problem I have is that although my tivo can download epg, TivoHD complains it cannot see the Tivo Desktop 2.8 operating on my server (which is connected by CAT5 to my router). I have had absolutely no luck. Does anyone have any idea why this wouldn't work or any workarounds? I can only guess that my problem might be due to the desktop software using Bonjour and that somehow that setup prevents such setups as mine.

Any thoughts/help appreciated.
