Do I get this right Tony? Why would you want to use DHCP on your win2000 box? Have you got a DHCP-server running at home which should assign a second IP-address to your win2k box?
I guess the way you want to go is assigning two IP-adresses to the empeg's NIC. One (eth0) gets assigned an IP-address by the player-app using DHCP and the other(eth0:0) should be fixed. It involves a new kernel including IP-aliasing. I can remember I had it running this way with some modified init-script.
I do not use it anymore though; I'm also administering DHCP/BOOTP at work, so I gave the empeg an unlimited DHCP-lease and switched DHCP off on the empeg. Problem solved...
