Thanks Glen!
I don't know what exactly happens with the Internet Sharing - but I turned it on, and the command line scanning program is finally able to see the device and report an IP address for it.
I guess this enables the airport base station to assign act as a DHCP server and assign an address to a connected device? Does internet sharing set up a bridge between devices connected to the Mac by other ethernet ports, and the airport base? In any case, that single change has enabled detection of the device.

However, the last note in this thread seems to claim that your Mac can become a DHCP server for the HDHomerun, just by turning on Internet Sharing. That's news to me. http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=101362 _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.mb.ca http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
