True. I was thinking more along the lines where you wouldn't be able to run a VPN because TiVo can't understand it. In "production" wireless environments, I prefer to tunnel all traffic over ssh via squid proxy, but it doesn't sound like TiVo would integrate into that environment. However, if you keep moving through WEP keys, you could drop the ssh-tunnelling, integrate TiVo, and still remain reasonably secure... : Plus, the user interface for changing the WEP key on the TiVo requires : far too many up-down-left-right pushes for me. ;-) -- aka Dolph Longhorn GPG Key ID: 0xF8F859D0 http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=0xF8F859D0&op=index "There is no such thing as right and wrong, there's just popular opinion." -Jeffrey Goines
