MVP connecting to servers forever

[ReZnOriO]

Hey guys,

I had the gbpvr display on my MediaMVP up once for about 10 mins. After restarting, it has never come back. I get the 'connecting to servers' on the screen for about a minute then back to the lame MVP videos/music/radio screen.

I've tried 'auto start servers=1' and manually running the gbpvr mvp server. I even upgraded to the newest gbpvr (which killed all my pvr card configs and recordings ) and I still can't get any display on my tv.

My question is, what log files can I use to debug this problem? I don't have zonealarm and I"m on the same subnet.

winxp pro sp2 (media mvp ports open via hauppauge install software)
pvr150 cable
pvr250 usb2 digital stb w/ ir blaster
athlon64
1 gig ram

Thanks,
ReZ

Did you shut off and disable the Happauge servers before bringing GBpvr online?

How do you have the MVP connected to your computer? Is it via crossover, or through a hub/switch. If it is not through a switch that is running a DHCP server you won't be able to connect unless you run a DHCP server on your computer. Also, I found that some switches have dificulty assigning an IP address to a client with a null name which is the case with the MediaMVP. My Westell versalink modem/switch, can't see the MVP, but my Belkin router can.

Also, if you run the Hauppauge software in place of GBPVR can you connect?
