Well it wasn't actually working and XBMC on the RPi said the media was no longer available every time I tried to play something that I'd scanned into the database with XBMC on the PC. I tried scanning using the local paths (E:\Media) and NFS paths (NFS://192.168.1.64/Media) but both gave the same results. Now the MediaPortal part of...

But as it is also (and I believe the only) Slideshow device, that may be the perfect remote display for MP ;_) I bought it for just €99,- at a german internet shop (Digitaler Bilderrahmen, Bilderrahmen?query=Bilderrahmen: i...

Heh.. no dramas at all. Funnily enough after discussing what you could do around town, my wife and I have started booking in us doing the things we've suggested. Most we've done before, but not necessarily together, so I consider it a win-win! Man, I'd love to get over to Europe at some point, but so far I've not been cashed up...

Fixed it! Don't know exactly what the problem was... I downloaded all the newest drives for my motherboard, including new BIOS, and installed these after the installation of XP (so before any update). And now it works perfect.. so I think that the old network driver was not working well with the SP2... Thanks you your suggestions!
