[QUOTE="jpcoh1, post: 1302694, member: 165238"] I really do appreciate you taking so much troubly with your response. I have a feeling that Networking and Russia have little else in common, although they do seem to share the desire to makes ones life miserable. I am however still baffled. Running through your numbered points. 1. When you refer to my Server |System, I assume you are referring to my PC on which the MP server is running. Its IP address is set by DHCP although anytime I have looked it is 192.168.1.2. I have tried using Network Connections to set an IPv4 address to a manual figure. I got confused when I was next asked for subnet mask settings but accepted the default. No change in the end result. 2. both PCs can read and write files on each other through file explorer 3. My server PC does not require a password to boot up. Do note that with MP2, my client PC has no problem finding the MP2 server over my home network, so I cannot see why or how MP1 is behaving differently. 4. You suggest deselecting allowing the windows firewall from allowing access from public networks. My principal reason for selecting MP1 over MP2 is that there is apparently an Add on which will permit the client to access the server over the internet so that, when I am abroad and have left my server PC running, the client can still hook up with it. Presumably your suggestion might fix the private home network issue but won't solve my main requirement. I have reviewed the firewall inbound rules and MP is enabled. 5. I am using Windows Firewall. Switching off my anti-virus software has no effect on the problem 6. Both server and client are 1.37. However the server is a 32 bit machine and the client is 64 bit. This does not cause any problem in MP2. 7. Yes, I can see that the service TV Service is running. As I mentioned, the client installed on the same PC as the server is properly connected to and working with the server Any further thoughts [/QUOTE]
