Hello,
I am trying to get a Hauppauge Mediamvp running with something called mvpmc.
The Mediamvp is a media player running Linux.
What is actually does is boot a Linux image from the network. Then it
loads a config file that acts a a boot script.
I use dnsmasq to as my dhcp server.
(OpenWrt, dnsmasq 2.22)
What happens is this:
1 I have given the Mediamvp a fixed address in dnsmasq.conf
2 The Mediamvp boots and does a DHCPDiscover
3 dnsmasq does a DHCPOffer
4 The Mediamvp loads its first file with tftp
5 Next is does a bootp
When the computer running dnsmasq just rebooted or when I throw away the
dhcp.leases file everything goes OK.
But the next boots of the Mediamvp fail because dnsmasq sees the IP
address is in use and signals an error:
BOOTP(br0) 192.168.7.66 00:0d:fe:00:75:c5 address in use.
Yes, it is in use. But by the mac address using it.
Does any body have a suggestion?
Try upgrading to version 2.24. The code was changed, I think between
2.22 and 2.23, to treat BOOTP more like an infinite DHCP lease. That
makes hosts which use both BOOTP and DHCP work much better.
Cheers,
Simon.
