Title: MVP doesn't work on a new router

Hi,

I have an new router (D-Link DGL-4300) with 4-Port-Gigabit-Switch.
Now the MVP loads 4 of 5 blue stripes. And than nothing. The log of vompserver:

MVP gets a reserved IP per DHCP from the router.

The same config works with the old enviroment (FLI4L-Router with Gigabit-Switch)

Any ideas??

THX and greets,

I ran into this a while back - i believe that the MVP *firmware* bootloader successfully gets a DHCP address, but the newly booted MVP kernel asks DHCP *again* (now that linux is running), and *that* second DHCP request does not interact well with your setup - DHCP protocol problem we're guessing.

options - fix the MVP's linux DHCP, or get a different DHCP server that interacts better with the MVP's linux-based DHCP requests. or ???

we used a different router...

good luck!

I know this well.
My vdr now acts as DHCP-Server and it works fine.

That was the same for me when I changed my router, so my VDRLive machine now act as DHCP server...
The kernel's DHCP needs to be fixed, may be replaced by the busybox udhcp client ?

A+
