Streaming over wired LAN issue

[adsk]

I'm using my Viper V40 box in client mode with the latest version of OpenVIX.

It will run quite happily over wireless without issues.

Whenever I use the wired ethernet socket the box will freeze - takes anywhere between 5 mins to 1 hour before this happens. No error messages, reboot etc. Box locks up.

While troubleshooting I've tried OpenATV 6.4 and 7.1/7.2 and experience the same issue.

Am I right in assuming that it's a hardware fault?

Well, it could be that the wired interface has been configured with an IP address that is the same as something else that only runs intermittently.

[adsk]

Both the wireless and wired interfaces were using DHCP. Nevertheless, I have now tried assigning a fixed IP outside of the DHCP address pool. After 10 mins the box locked up.

Worth mentioning it's not just the picture that freezes, the whole box becomes unresponsive to remote input/power button on front etc

Post debug log

A shot in the dark as where might EPG saving to?

[adsk]

As suggested, here's the log. I'm just an end user so most of the log means nothing to me. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can find something that might lead to a resolution.

The eth0 broadcast address is wrong.
It should be 192.168.200.255 (assuming you have a standard class C address network).

[adsk]

I can't see how to set the broadcast address within the OpenVix UI. I'm only using a fixed IP because I'd inferred from your earlier suggestion that there might be an issue with DHCP leases.
Can you tell me how to change the broadcast address or should I go back to DHCP?

[adsk]

..so I've given the STB a static IP in my routers DHCP server outside of the main DHCP pool. I've checked the log and DHCP is assigning the correct broadcast address. If I have further freezing, I'll post a log again.

Started my box up from cold this evening and it ran for 2 3/4 hours before locking up. This is an unusually long time for it to run without freezing, typically it's within 20-40 minutes.

I've attached the log.

When you say from cold from what ?

Deep Standby

Powered on from rear

On from standby

[adsk]

Powered on from rear.

[cactikid]

May i ask why you are turning box off at rear as most of use the standby or deep standby selection.

[birdman]

Powered on from rear.

Does that mean you switch it off when not watching just by using that same switch?

Another things I can see, which might be irrelevant to the problem, but may not be totally irrelevant:
