Doing "arp -a" right now shows the ARP mapping for another machine and the one MVP that is powered on right now. My guess is that there must be some algorithm that tells the MVPs what ports to connect to for their control and stream connections. Is this control mechanism in the recording service? I don't know enough about this mechanism, but it must be giving out the wrong information.
power down the mvp
test and see what you get at the dos prompt: arp -a
ip mac type
default gateway ip or another pc ip
turn on both mvps
type arp -a
pc ip mac type
mvp ip mac type
mvp ip mac type
don't know if you're tried:
netsh interface ip delete arpcache
Replaytv, do you have XP or 2003? I'm guessing 2003 might be the issue here based on joecru's response. Although, 2003 Enterprise may be a little bit of overkill . You may need to upgrade to Datacenter if that doesn't do it for you...
