MVP stopped at Contacting Servers

[winwin]

I have problem regarding the MVP stopped at "Contacting Servers" when the "Live TV" is started after the MVP is off for a few hours.
And, I attached the log file for your reference.

The symptom already repeating many times in this pattern:
1) If it is the 1st time I use the "Config" icon to set the "Number of MVP server autostart" to "1", then OK it.
So, it starts the GB-PVR software and everthing seems to be working fine, plays Recording, Net Radio and the program guide, Live TV etc from the MVP for at least an hour. Then, I turn off and on a few times the MVP.
Everythings still work fine !
(log time before 1:31:40 AM in the attached log)
2) After turning off the MVP for a few hours, then turn it on.
The main menu is up, when I try to go to "Live TV" the MVP drops out and goes to contacting server.
(log time after 7:27:03 AM, and there are ERROR's in the end of file.)
3) I will need to go back to the above step 1), or manually restart the GP-PVR MVP server.

Then, the problem is still repeated from the above 1) to 3), which disappointing me that I can only enjoy the PVR for a little while. :confused:

I have tried these :
a) Reinstall the latest MVP s/w version mediamvpsetup_24_23096_web.exe and 'beta' version 2.4 23104 from the Hauppauge web.
b) Turn off the Win XP firewall.

Thanks for any help !

tweaking mvp is kind of tricky. Did you set it to its own IP using a crosover cable?
Overlooking this will give you a lot of trouble. Steps on how to do this is found at http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/manuals/m...laptop.pdf

OK problem solved ! I upgrade my PC memory from 256M to 512M. So, the MVP do not 'timeout' in 7 sec.
Here is what I learnt from the other thread:
> The hauppauge MVP will disconnect if it doesnt get a response in about 7 seconds.
