WPA network? Wi-Fi Protected Access? Isn't that irrelevant if you are using the wired network? > Although I am able to get the application loaded reliably, mvpmc > stalls for a long time on boot. Search the list archives for reports of slow booting: http://www.nabble.com/MediaMVP-Media-Center---Users-f24861.html If you examine the /etc/rcS script on the MVP you'll see that it makes several attempts to obtain the dongle.bin.config file using a few different methods, so if the attempts are failing, that'll slow down the process. I did run across a mention of slow booting on the wiki, but it was due to an unresponsive NTP server, and supposedly the code has since been updated to run the ntpdate command in the background so it doesn't hold up the boot process. > Strangly, it worked once, now it doesn't want to work.

How about examining your server logs to confirm whether it is or isn't talking to the TFTP server. Try running the TFTP transfer command manually (via telnet) on the MVP to see if it works (you'll find the syntax in /etc/rcS). > After a long while, mvpmc starts in a generic mode with > an IP (192.168.0.105), which is outside my subnet. Outside your subnet? That's pretty strange. Do you possibly have multiple DHCP servers running on your network? Which device (router or server) do you think is providing DHCP service, and have you look at its logs? Are you positive the MVP is connecting through the wired interface and not the wireless interface? -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
