Wireless MVP - not getting IP number

[lucille84]

Hello,

Changed from Belkin54G to a Netgear N600 router.

When starting the Wireless MVP I get prompted to select an SSID from a list, then for a WEP key - all as expected, after accepting this the MVP reports it connects to the access point but cannot get an IP address.

This is probably a router issue not an MVP issue but I have no idea where to start with diagnosis of what might be improperly set.

EDIT - now I find that my wired MVP reports the same 'can't get IP' errror.

Any hints or ideas (or reprimands) that lead to where to start for fixing this are greatly appreciated,

I have terrible luck with WEP on the wMVP so I gave up. For mvpmc you will need WEP 128 though. As for hints, if you changed your IP sub-net you might need to reinstall the Hauppauge server for the first connect. Finally make sure you don't have only one router and use one subnet on your network.

Martin,

Thanks for your suggestions.

Did the Hauppauge server reinstall it didn't fix the wireless problem on the D-600 router -- but when I went back to the old Belkin54g all was back to normal.

And miraculously, my M34A (wired) is now again giving me spectacular performance -and- LIVE TV. So thanks again for all your help both in developing these tools and your untiring support in the forums.
