Thank you. This was very helpful. Thank you to others who
also offered advice on the dhcp server. It was actually
easier to set up than I expected. Providing long enough
leases relieved my concern of not having the DHCP server
available when clients wanted to renew, since I won't
have my myth box up 24/7.
My new DHCP server is handing out IPs nicely to both
Windows & Linux clients. However, it refuses to hand out
an IP to the MVP. I'm using static IPs for all of the
clients. I've double-checked the MAC for the MVP in my
dhcpd.conf and it is correct. When I look at the router log,
I see:
[INFO] Fri Jul 04 19:29:34 2008 Access denied to LAN system
with MAC address <my MVP's mac address>.
I do have MAC filtering enabled in the router, but I
double-checked, and the MVP's MAC is allowed access. Am
I having problems because I need to load the firmware before
it can get an IP? I took an initial stab at setting up the
TFTP server, but the MVP didn't bite. I believe I am
missing the dongle.bin.config file. I'll need to do more
research into that.
Thanks,
pimy
