I can ping 198.168.20.5, but I have a sinking feeling that what I'm pinging is the ethernet nic, and not the tuner. If that's the case, I've been wandering around in the dark.

Ah, OK, 192.168.10.3 and 198.168.20.5 are on two different networks. If 
198.168.20.5 is your computer, then you have to tell it how to reach the 
network that 192.168.10.3 is part of, otherwise it will not work.

I would advice you to setup the IP-numbers so that all units that are 
physically connected together (via cable or switch) are on the same 
network. So change the IP-number of 192.168.10.3, into 198.168.20.3 (if 
that number is not used by any other device), and it should work.
