Hi Bill,

TiVo has this article on general wireless network setup tips:
http://customersupport.tivo.com/knowbase/root/public/tv2066.htm?

The Galleon home page is at http://galleon.sourceforge.net/html/index.html

I had problems with the startup scripts so if you're going the Galleon
route and can't it working, feel free to holler and I'll send mine to
you.  I don't have a lot of Galleon experience but I did make it work
(as I did with JavaHMO, its predecessor).  If you've got specific
questions, though, I can take them a shot, or you can ask on the on the
TiVo community forum - http://www.tivocommunity.com.

Cheers,
        .../Ed
