I have referenced this bug before here.

This bug ruined my watching of the two hour season finale of LOST. What do I have to do to get this fixed around here? Show me a paypal account to donate to and I'll donate to get this bug fixed. I had to resort to Yahoo! Go for TV to watch it for crying out loud.

Anyways, what happens is you can be watching tv just fine, and then your wireless internet drops out from you (in my case the wireless connection from the pvr to the router). Well, this also drops the connection on your pvr (htpc) between MediaPortal and the TV Server. Why? Probably because the connection is tied to connect to the PVR's IP address, which gets lost when the network connection goes down for some reason. It's obvious why this would happen on a different machine on the network (a client pc). But it makes absolutely no sense for this to happen on a single-seat setup. What do you need from me to get this fixed? In the midst of my scuttle to get LOST up and running I did not take the time to save all the logs, but I can reproduce the error if you cannot.

Been mentioned as an improvement suggestion already, am suffering the same thing with WLAN so changed to LAN until this is implemented/fixed.

Does the interface go down? As in the hardware interface? (Shows cable unplugged for a few seconds)?

[Noelix]

Yeah it shows the wireless connection dropped in the windows taskbar.

Thanks for the information Muldini, I'll keep an eye out for it.

I have it quasi-fixed this issue (for now) using the microsoft loopback adapter, detailed here:
