If you are on ADSL/cablemodem then you will probably either be running some
sort of sharing program on your PC or using a router to connect your
internal 
network to the outside world, and will have only one external IP.

Either way, unless you have specifically routed port 80 calls to the TiVo,
or 
indeed made the TiVo a DMZ host, then it should be pretty safe by default
because incoming connections won't know how to get from the router/sharing
PC 
to the TiVo.

A few ppl will have multiple IP's assigned them in which case, do NOT use
one 
of these as your TiVo Ip - use a non-routable address like 192.168.xxx.xxx
- 
but then, you were anyway for your internal network, right? :-D

I will shortly be adding instructions to the freeranger site on how to
access 
the TiVo securely from the internet.

HTH,

Tony
