Wow! Thank you, Tony. I appreciate your interest. I've been doing
the upgrades as completely new installs (stopping the service,
uninstalling, wiping out the previous install directory, etc.) I've
uninstalled the original receiver software that came with the unit.
And there aren't any firewalls in the way.

When I put 3.6c on last night, the Rio got to the "Dell
initializing" screen on the first attempt, but hung there. So
according to your note, that means it was at least attempting to
boot, right? I'm reasonably sure that I've got the xml config files
set up correctly. The only thing I notice is that the DNS info (the
IP address) that I enter seems to be changed by the software to the
IP of my router after I attempt to run it once.

The other odd behavior is that the service often hangs when I try to
stop/restart it and I get an error message that it failed to respond
in time, or something to that effect. I'll try another clean install
today and see if that helps.
