MVP Unable to Obtain IP Address

[wrems]

This is weird.

Today I got the bright idea to try my HD200 on my analog TV where my MVP is currently hooked up. I wanted to see how the HD200 compared to the MVP. So I pulled the plug on the MVP and the cat5. Put the HD200 in its place and fired it up. Worked like a charm. When I was done I reconnected the MVP and powered it on. Now all I get from the thing is unable to obtain IP address…

Normally, when I’ve had problems with my MVP I hank the power for like an hour and then power it up and its fine. This time, no dice…

I’m not sure what to do, I didn’t change anything other than pulling the cat5 and power temporarily to hook up the HD200.

Any ideas?

When that happens to me, I unplug the MVP, shut down SageTV on the server, reset the DHCP server, then restart SageTV (letting it fully load up for a few minutes), and then plug the MVP back in.

Yep, worked like a charm
