Bummer, I was hoping it would be an easy fix because I made a typo or
something.
Note, the box just sits at the www.mvmpc.org and while it is there it is
accessible via telnet. Not sure if you mean it keeps rebooting by "loop".

The /path you are refering to is local to the mvp or the path to the folder I
am mounting over the network? I assume the latter
Also part of the problem is there is no hostname being picked up by the mvp

What's the significance (if any) of the browser.config file?

Ahh, I guess it has meaning to the mvp setup.

Not sure what you mean by that.... are you saying running 2 copies of the
dongle file on the same mvp unit concurrently??

This is on 0.3.3 if it makes any difference.

I am not sure what you mean by the 2nd one??!??!

I tried that, no joy.
