I have a new MVP that is giving me fits. My GBPVR machine is in the basement wired into a 4port wireless router. My MVP is also wired to the router. I cannot get past the "connecting to server" screen.
This is what I know:
DCHP is turned on for my router and is handing out IP addys to my GBPVR machine as well as a wireless laptop connection.
Firewall is currently disabled.
I am able to get the MVP to connect to the Hauppage software, but not to GBPVR when I stop the hauppage software.
I have set the # or servers to autostart to 1 in GBPVR config.
GBPVR MVP server is running.
I know I'm getting sick of running up and down the stairs so much.
I also know that my wife is pissed cause she can't watch the episode of Desperate Housewives I recorded for her (I swear its for her!!).
I got GBPVR to work once yesterday (and it worked really well), but I don't know how I did it. Then when I went into GBPVR config to tweak some settings (only autoskip feature and MVP Screen Position) it wouldn't reconnect tonight. Please help. I'm sure its something dumb. I'm not a huge networking guru or anything so if you could use small words it would probably help. Thanks
PS I have read the following pretty thoroughily but I'm not sure how much I understood:
