I've got my mvpmc (along with everything else on my network) receiving DHCP
addresses from my sveasoft (http://www.sveasoft.com) equipped WRT56G router.
The Sveasoft firmware uses dnsmasq to run DHCP.
I did the following to get it all to work:
- Enabled TFTP on my MythTV box and set up the boot firmware (using a
symlink so I can play with different versions)
- Made a static reservation for the MVP on the router using the MVP MAC
address
- Enabled expert mode for dnsmasq on the WRT by SSH'ing in and issuing the
following commands:
nvram set expert=mode=1
nvram commit
reboot
- Added the following lines to the dnsmasq advanced options window that
appears when you enable expert mode:
dhcp-boot=dongle.bin.mvpmc,mythtv,10.100.1.10
dhcp-option=42, 10.100.1.10
(First line provides the boot file to BOOTP clients like the MVP (
dongle.bin.mvpmc), the hostname of the TFTP server (mythtv) and the IP of
the TFTP server ( 10.100.1.10)
(The second line provides the NTP server option to DHCP clients so that
the MVP can sync time)
- Viola! The MVP gets it's IP address, boot file locations and time server
info from the WRT and boots up every time.
Hopefully this helps and using DD-WRT you can configure similar options into
the DHCP server so you won't have to be in the bad situation of having two
DHCP servers on your net.

I have setup a windows pc with dhcp and tftp server, tested it and is
working, as my setup with workign with static ip addressing.

I am wondering if anyone has managed to get a router working, running
either dd-wrt or tomato firmware, with dynamic ip addressing. I started with
the tomato version, tryed to setup access filters, etc but somehow the
router would always respond to the mediamvp.
Yesterday, I loaded dd-wrt on the router, and pretty much of the same. I
cant get the router to ignore the mvp.
Basically, if anyone has managed to get theirs to work with a similar
setup, I would love to hear how you did it.
Thank you
