RE: turbonet

["Broadfoot, Kieran J" <Kieran.Broadfoot@xxxxxxx>]

As an aside is anyone using a proxy on their network to further protect
their internal machines?  I should be getting a turbonet soon so one
problem
I might hit is whether the tivo can handle a proxy between itself and
the
internet for downloading its data.  anyone have any thoughts on
this?

thanks
kieran

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
