Vista - HAVA and VPC Guest networking problem - Looking for ideas about whatmight be happening

Hi,

I just got a HAVA Wireless HD. This is a box that you hook up to your
cable (or antenna) and it lets you watch TV via on a PC, using an
application that they provide called the "HAVA Player". Apparently, the
communication from the HAVA box to the HAVA Player is using UDP.

I've got the HAVA box all setup, and I can watch TV using the HAVA
Player software fine when I install it on an XP machine (several actually).

However, when I install the HAVA Player software on a VPC 2007 guest, I
lose connectivity to ONLY the HAVA box, which has IP 192.168.0.6. What
I mean by this is that:

- Before installing the HAVA Player software, I can ping 192.168.0.6
from the VPC guest.

- After I install the HAVA Player software, when I try to ping from the
VPC guest to 192.168.0.6, sometimes the 1st one or two pings get
replies, but then I get only timeouts.

- This happens with both a VPC guest running WinXP Home SP2 (XP Firewall
is turned off completely) and another VPC guest running Vista.

- While doing all this, I can ping 192.168.0.6 fine from other machines,
and from other VPC guests that don't have the HAVA Player software
installed.


I thought that the problem might be that the route to 192.168.0.6 was
somehow "disappearing", but I've tried adding and deleting a specific
route to 192.168.0.6 using the route command, and still get the same
behavior.

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be happening?

Thanks,
Jim
