I have a cheapo Fry brand unmanaged GigE swich.  Also an airport extreme
base station.

This is the configuration that had issues:

mythbackend ---->
HDHR 1           ----->   Fry's GigE Unmanaged ----->  Fry's GigE Unmanaged
(Central Switch) ---> Airport Extreme GigE Switch/Base station  ----->
Remote Frontend
HDHR 2         ------->


Here was what worked:

(this is the HDHR network)
HDHR1/2 ----> Linksys 10/100 Mbit Router/Switch (ddwrt)  ----> Mythbackend
(dedicated NIC)

(this is the house network)
Mythbackend (another NIC) ---> Fry's GigE Unmanaged ----->  Fry's GigE
Unmanaged (Central Switch) ---> Airport Extreme Switch/Base station  ----->
Remote Frontend
