Hi Kevin,

You are correct!!!  It is certainly true that it was not the HDHR not 
completing its DHCP as it was never power cycled.  It had to be the 
computer.  I reserved its IP address in the DHCP server and gave the 
computer a static IP address, booted and vola -- success!!!

That was way too easy.  Thanks!

I would think this would be considered a Mythbuntu bug as I didn't do 
anything to make it happen other than buy a fast computer.  It isn't my 
network because I connected the computer directly to the HDHR and that 
configuration had the same problem although it is supported per Silicon 
Dust.

Anyway, I am set so thanks again.  Hopefully if someone else has this 
problem, they can find this post and solve it.
