Actually, I think it has something to do with ARP pollution or caching
or something. (I wish I could remember more about that level of IP).
At any rate, they can't handle the problem, so as a dutiful consumer,
I'm returning the device and won't deal with them again.
Oh well, just one more thing to put on my todo list: figure out a way to
compress video streams effectively, and write a FREE program to do it!
