I just got a new Wireless MVP and have been unable to get it to work with GBPVR. Any help out there would be appreciated.
I should mention first that this is not a DHCP or network issue. I have the router handing out DHCP addresses on both the wired and wireless interfaces of the MVP. The PC running GBPVR and the MVP device can see one another fine (ping, arp values, etc.) The problem seems to stem from the dongle file or software side.
I have tried dongle.bin and dongle.bin-3.0.24088.bin unsuccessfully. When I try gbpvr.bin it actually shows the gbpvr menus on my TV but there is a sync problem (terrible verticle rolling) that makes it unusable.
When using the regular dongle.bin or the 3.0.24088 file, here is what happens at the MVP:
Checking network status...
Configuring Wired Device (I set it to use wired for faster speed)
Checking network status...
Contacting Servers (boxes go across)
Loading Application (boxes go across)
--At this point MVP reboots (MVP Splash screen)
Loading Application (bar moves across screen)
Starting Application (bar moves across screen)
--At this point MVP reboots again and looses network setting
--Defaults back to wireless network (which is also hooked up)
Checking network status...
Configuring Wireless Device
-- so I press OK to set it back to wired networking
-- Now the whole process starts over again (goto top of the steps)
So I'm caught in an endless loop that goes nowhere.
GBPVR version: 97.09
MVP Info: Wireless MVP
Rev 2.05 (splash screen)
Flash level: 1.1.38
Model 86017 Rev H3
I was hoping to leave my PC in my den and send the signal to the living room. I'm hoping that I didn't spend $150 on a doorstop (the MVP is not heavy enough for an anchor). This is all very frustrating. If anyone has any suggestions or help I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Zork
