That's expected. A telnet daemon is only provided by the mvpmc firmware, and you haven't gotten as far as booting the mvpmc firmware. > I checked the router's logs and I can > see the device constantly renewing its lease. That's the Hauppauge boot loader firmware repeatedly trying to go through its firmware loading cycle. > Looking at the wiki, it mentions using a router to assign a DHCP with > a Windows setup.

The known working technique is to supply the MVP with the TFTP server's IP address via DHCP. That's certainly doable from a router's DHCP service, though few consumer grade routers support such a configuration option, which is why most of the installation guides suggest installing a DHCP service on a Linux box. If you have compatible router hardware, running third party firmware like DD-WRT is a possibility. It uses the Dnsmasq DHCP service, which supports the necessary features. Beyond DHCP, as Stuart noted, you'll still need a server to provide a TFTP service so the MVP can load the firmware. There are instructions on the wiki for setting that up with both Linux and Windows. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
