WDTV G2 won't pull an IP address

[AtmaWeapon]

Hey guys.

I'm looking for a little help here. I'm trying to set up my G2 with 1.01.77-WDLXTV-G2-0.4.7.3 installed. I'm using a wired ASIX AX88178 ethernet adapter, which WDLXTV seems to set up correctly (I'm getting a LINK and ACT LEDs on) but for some reason it doesn't seem to get an IP address from my DHCP-enabled Linksys WRT54Gv8 router with DD-WRT. I already tried the adapter on my PC and it works just fine. net.config I'm using is shown below. Any ideas?

Hello,
I am having exactly same problem with same device. I already spent many hours trying to solve without success...

I use WDLXTV [Gen2] version [1.01.77_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_G2-0.4.7.3]
For ethernet I use USB Trendnet TU2-ETG (which use ASIX 88178)
Seems the device is recognized by WDTV because LEDs are blinking.
But for some reason cannot get IP address (DHCP is enabled in the router).
I have some other devices (wifi and wired) and no problem at all to connect with router using DHCP.

Any ideas?

Next are files that I have on my USB memory root:

Code: Select all

net.config
net.mounts
s00custom-options

And next is net.config file:
