RE: xPLRioNet - MVP

["Neil Frost" <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Been playing with that. I have 2 MVPs both doing the same. I have tried:

moving the MVP to the switch and plugging in directly - Same
Changing the MVP - same

I've run ethereal and it seems as though the mvp is not accepting the dhcp
offer.

Hi Neil,

With only a DHCP server on your network you should get first 2 blocks go
blue, but no 'flash'.

Block 1 = network attached, block 2 = got ip, block 3 = found server?,
block
4 = downloading dongle.bin, block 5 = rebooting, it then goes to the
finding
servers screen

The only way I could reproduce the 'flashing' of the second block was to
have no live network cable attached...

With a live network cable attached but no dhcp server it sits on 1 blue
block forever

With a live network cable attached _with_ a dhcp server running (in this
case server 2003) it sits on 2 blue blocks forever

Once xplrionet is running it goes thru the rest of the stages

Seems like a network connectivity issue (or faulty mvp)?

Regards
Tony
