[QUOTE="Man Pang, post: 1292789, member: 152649"] Hello, I spent a couple of days trying to resolve this issue and cannot figure it out. I have set up MediaPortal Server on an old Windows 7 machine and the Client on a new Windows 11 machine. I can open MediaPortal on the client machine and go into TV section. From TV, I try to access the guide and I it cannot retrieve it from the server and I am asked to specify the IP of the server. On the server side, TVService.exe is enabled in the firewall. For good measure, ports 31456 and 554 are also enabled. Switching off the firewall at the server side does enable access to the TV Guide on the client. Furthermore, switching on Home or network (private) location settings on the firewall but public network location settings switched off also allows me to access the TV Guide from the client. This is very strange as it appears the TV Guide is trying to establish a connection outside the LAN. What is it trying to connect to? I confirm that ports 31456 and 554 can be accessed by the client via telnet. I could install Visual Studio and debug the code but before I do that, can anyone shed any light on why enabling public firewall settings blocks the TV Guide? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
