But if you think the Belkin will work - I'll give that a try.
The media server is a network-attached unit and needs it's own IP address in exactly the same way as a computer would.

You could go modem-->homeplugs-->router if that helps. Then the computer and media centre need to plug into RJ45 ports in the router.
