Hi Martin,

Can you give me step by step instructions for that, I haven't been able to find any config files for the dongle or browser

Hi Martin,

I figured the easiest thing to do was fix the problem of not storing the mac address. The dongle has been updated.

The actual instructions for creating the share and saving the dongle.bin.config are on

http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/Loadconfig

If you have questions on that please open a new thread.

Hi,
is your updated dongle still dated 2007-04-02 thats the only one I can find on the mvpmc page. I still can't get the server to resume from the pvr though it works perfectly when using the instructions you gave me last night (come out of emulation mode and power down server then go back to emulation mode)
I have set up a share called mvpmc and copied the example dongle.bin.config file to it. All lines are commented out apart from one I added which you suggested to someone in an earlier post

mvpmc --startup emulate --emulate 192.16.1.1 --em-wolwt 40 &

Unfortunatley that doesn't work either

Sorry to be a pain!!!

Yes same date but if you check the About screen it should be Mon Apr 2 19:10:57 EDT 2007

The most important thing about setting up the share is following Step 2 on the wiki. You can confirm you have done this by telnetting to your mvp and issuing the following command

cat /etc/tftp.config

If you don't see your server IP the share won't load.

Also based on what you said yesterday that em-wolwt of forty seconds seems high, that is the time from when your machine can be pinged to the time gbpvr is ready.

Hi Martin

Ok when telnetting and sending command cat /etc/tftp.config
I'm getting
tftp=192.168.10.19 which is the ip address of the server.

i'll reduce the em-wolwt to 20 seconds and try that

Hi Martin

tftp=192.168.10.19 which is the ip address of the server.

Ok that's a good sign, the next test is to see if the share mounted and here is the telnet command to test that

ls /etc/mvpmc

You should see dongle.bin.config, if not your share didn't work. To continue testing from telnet try this

mount.cifs //192.168.10.18/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guess,password=guest,ro

If that gives an error you need to work on the pc end of your share until that command works.

Note that some people complain about opening the guest account on there PC but that will not be necessary. This is guest file share which is completely different.

i'll reduce the em-wolwt to 20 seconds and try that

Reducing the time won't help the wol problem it just will be less of a forced wait.

Hi Martin,

I'm getting permission denied when I try etc/mvpmc

and mount.cifs //192.168.10.18/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guess,password=guest,ro
not found

The mvpmc folder is shared though .. admin has write facilities others have read

I'll go through it again later and see where I have gone wrong

Hi Martin,

I'm getting permission denied when I try etc/mvpmc

The command is actually ls /etc/mvpmc you probably forgot the ls (which is the linux dir command).

and mount.cifs //192.168.10.18/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guess,password=guest,ro
not found

That's probably a typo somewhere on mount.cifs I made a typo too since your ip is .19 not 18. Also when I checked for this, your dongle.bin.config needs to have --emulate 192.16.10.19 to match too.

Hi Martin,

Ok when I do a telnet into the MVP and cat /etc/tftp.config I get
tftp=192.168.10.17 (which is correct)

Then when I do ls /etc/mvpmc it pauses for a second and gives me the prompt again #
same happens when I do the mount cifs command

I only have one line in the dongle.bin.config file which is

mvpmc --startup emulate --emulate 192.16.10.17 --em-wolwt 30 &

Do I need anything else in there? when I power up the pvr it doesn't startup in emulate mode I have to drop down the menu list to get there

Good.

That sounds like your share is working, you should try the ls command again, your dongle.bin.config file should be there

I only have one line in the dongle.bin.config file which is

mvpmc --startup emulate --emulate 192.16.10.17 --em-wolwt 30 &

That looks fine too as long as you are running the alpha.

Loading a new dongle.bin.config isn't via the power button, you would need to unplug it and load the dongle.bin file again too.
