Well, Martyn's next server in his /etc/dhcp.conf looks like this:

I don't know about the H3's requirement w.r.t. dongle names - that would
be bad. But I don't think it makes sense. What if two different
internet appliances (i.e. a toaster and a mixer) required the same
dongle name?
I am wondering about the 192.168.0.1 address. Are you using your router
to serve up the dongle? My netgear router couldn't do this.
The only other thing I am wondering about are the directories you use to
store your dongle.bin's in. I thought the dongles were to reside in the
/tftpboot directory. Actually, I think the dhcp program assumes that
is where they are. It could be that your dhcp is looking for the file
/tftpboot/mvp1/dongle.bin to hand out to your mvpmc boxes and not
/mvp1/dongle.bin!
If I were you, I might try to change:
filename "/mvp1/dongle.bin"
...to...
filename dongle.bin.livingroom
...in your /etc/dhcp.conf file. And create a copy of your dongle called:
dongle.bin.livingroom
...in your /tftpboot direcotry. And create a copy of the config file
for the living room's mvpmc in the same directory and call it:
dongle.bin.livingroom.config
Now, I would make a symbolic link to the first dongle.bin.livingroom
file in the /tftpboot directory and call it something like:
dongle.bin.den
...in the /tftpboot directory. Then write a new and different config
file for the den's mvpmc in the same directory and call it:
dongle.bin.den.config
...let us know how that works.
