Thanks for your help, Tom.

Sorry I should have been more clear.  I am using the wired interface
because my wireless is currently setup with wpa encryption, so it
doesn't work on the wireless interface.

I will check this.  The trouble is that when it doesn't work, I can't
easily telnet into the mvp because the IP address is 192.168.0.105
(strangely enough I have a static lease setup in my router for
192.168.1.105).  It seems like /etc/rcS does a dhcp discover, but
maybe this is failing.

I only have one dchp server and it runs on my router.  It seems like a
successful boot has a dhcpdiscover, dhcpoffer, dhcprequest, dhcpack
and then about 50 seconds later another discover, offer, request, ack.
 On the other hand, when the slow boot happens, I only see the first
group of requests, not the second ones 50 seconds later.

I am pretty sure.  I didn't do any wireless configuration in the hauppauge menu.

I changed my config to the following (commented out nfs) and it has
worked through a couple of warm boots now, but often fails with a cold
boot (complete power cycle).

TZ='EST+5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2'
export TZ
echo "TZ='EST+5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2'" > /etc/shell.config
echo "export TZ" >> /etc/shell.config
rdate -s 192.168.1.100
echo "192.168.1.100  petunia  petunia" >> /etc/hosts
mkdir /video
#/etc/nfsmount.sh 192.168.1.100:/myth/tv/ /video
#/bin/echo "Test Log" >/video/test.log
/bin/mvpmc -M -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.1.100 &
