I think the media player needs to contact a DHCP server to get an IP address and then contacts a TFTP server running on 2 seperate ports (69 and 16869) . Can you tell from the various logs, use of the arp command etc. which if any of these stages has been completed ? My DHCP server is just a cheap broadband router. By pointing a web browser at this router from the LAN side I can see which DHCP addresses are allocated to which DHCP clients. My tftp server is a seperate Linux box on my LAN - I can post my tftp configs for this if you want. Hi Richard, Are you successful in using the same version of the MVP? What steps did you follow to get things to work? If I can use my D-Link Router for DHCP I will, but how do you overcome the issues related to the hardware MAC address and where to get the dongle file from if you are using a basic router? What logs should I refer to in order to see where things are at? What is an example of the arp command? I am pretty green to some of this. Please post any file mods or configs that you've needed to do to make this work. Thx!!
