So the Hauppauge and SageTV server software includes a bootp service? That would make sense, as it could be ran on a network with DHCP already running and not interfere. Presumably the bootp client built-in to the MVP bootloader firmware is standards compliant, otherwise it wouldn't work with the bootp services built-in to most DHCP services that run on Linux. Given that bootp servers are available independent of DHCP servers, I wonder why the mvpmc howtos didn't recommend installing that, rather than supplanting the DHCP server on the LAN, which seems to be a down-side for many users. > ...so this still points to dhcp problems. Yes, to the extend that dhcpd is the one responding to the bootp packet. I checked out the ISC DHCP website and didn't see anything indicating you need to do anything special to enable bootp functionality. (Their FAQ mentions something you need to do for v2.2 era Linux kernels, but that's pretty old and probably outdated.) I couldn't put my hands on a man page quickly, but ran across this page: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/network/netboot/dhcpd.html which describes how to enable debugging output from dhcpd, and shows examples of it logging a BOOTP packet exchange. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
