However, most of the Linux documentation on the site seems to refer to a DHCP server running on a linux host, and handing out an IP, along with other options to the device. I am willing to setup a DHCP server on my linux machine, but I would rather hand out the DHCP via my router instead.

I think you are missing something. Did you know the MediaMVP box does not contain any application programming? The programming it does contain doesn't do much past booting up the box and and asking for application code from the serving computer. You might be able to hand out the IP w/the router box. But, you will need a computer to hand out the application dongle. This is true if you stick with the original happauge software or migrate to using the code at mvpmc.org. ...hope that clears things up a bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
