Two Tivos, one network

[Darren King]

You can change to static IP at any time by the same nic_config_tivo command. However if your router is capable of DHCP assigning addresses there is not much need to do this as your root problem is the fact both network cards have the same MAC address ending in 10:10:10

Change the MAC address of one (or better still both just in case you ever add a third TiVo and forget about this problem) and you will have no further issues.

This is why when I install images I always go into the networking menu and randomise the MAC address. Maybe (and I'm not a programmer so I can't!) there is a way of writing into the image installer a way of randomising the MAC address automatically? At least this way when people do install an image there won't be a MAC address conflict if indeed they are setting up a second TiVo.
