The three responses provided a lot of good information. I assume that hitting the green power key actually suspended the box and not just shut off the video. I am using the same dongel.bin file for both my wired and wireless devices. My dhcp server has a default lease of 6 hours, however I'm using fixed address based on MAC address so I don't believe the lease life comes into play, but to be sure I've greatly increased the default lease life. Is there anyway from the mvpcm telnet shell to tell what the lease life is? The wireless router that my wireless mediamvp connects to gets powered off at night, so if this 6 hour lease applies to fixed addresses then mvpmc would not be able to communicate with the dhcp server when the lease expires. I guess it's reasonable to assume that having the gateway down for 6 hours could also have a negative impact on the wireless MVP's running linux? Thanks for the information I'll do some test using the information provided, I'm guessing I'll have to move the router so it stays powered on all night.
Thanks

I am pretty sure this will happen if mvpmc loses access the the DHCP
server and can't renew the IP or the DHCP server assigns a new IP.
