Setup:
- MediaMVP
- PC running WinXP (XP firewall disabled, no other software firewall)
- Linksys router/DHCP server
- GBPVR server, Hauppauge server disabled.
I hooked up the MediaMVP to the Linksys, on the screen I see:
1) Contacting DHCP Server (for less than a second), then
2) Contacting MediaMVP Bootserver (for a long time), then repeat from step 1.
So looking at the Linksys, I can see that the MVP gets a DHCP address with a lease expire time of 60 seconds, but after about 20 seconds it rejects it and gets a new lease (with the IP address incremented by 1), again 60 second lease time, and again after 20 seconds it gets another IP incremented by 1.
So I stopped the GBPVR MVP server, and started the Hauppauge one. Same thing happened.
Anybody else run into this issue? The Linksys router doesn't block any ports from within the LAN (at least that I could tell on the config webpage of the router), so why can't the MVP get to the bootserver?
I hope someone can answer it! The Hauppauge support pages are not very useful for this...
