Have you actually tried this ?...Reading the barix archives i noticed some
people have had trouble with using the rescue kit....Im going to have
enough
probs trying to setup fixed ips....I relocated my Exstreamer to Node 0 and
had trouble getting it to work again.....
When you say it passes all sorts of remotes do you mean device and key
codes
??
Great Work
Frank
