HOUSTON We´ve got a problem...

I installed latest version from Tv engine. I used those new tutorial videos for installation (witch where great by the way). This is my first Tv engine installation.
The Tv server is now up and running, seems to work perfectly, but only locally. Problem is that I can´t get any stream to my clients. I´ve got 1Gb LAN so the problem shouldn´t be there?
I tryed to solve this by searching similar posts in here, but I couldn´t find any resolved case, so I decided to post my own.
I tested the stream with VLC media player and I get the stream running in a client pc, so I tryed to find problems from SQL. It seems that there is something wrong.
I try to test the SQL with Windows own "Data Sources (ODBC)" but I get all sorts of errors (different errors in local and client pc´s). Some of them are saying that I have no permissions and some of them are saying that SQL is down (and it´s not).
I´m getting confused with this and don´t want to mess my computers any moore without help... ;)
So, is there anybody who have really resolved this case? I´ve seen similar issues, only little bit differently explained?

I N E E D HELP!!!

Thanks...

Okay,
It seems that I resolved my problem. Heres what I did:

First I installed TV Server also in my client pc. I tryed to connect it to my SQL server, then I got new error, this time 26.
I started to fid out what that means. It was pretty mutch same as the other ones, only this time I found real solutions.

Fix1:
SQL Server 2000: Open the SQL Server Client Network Utility. On the General tab enable the protocols you need to use. Typically this will be 'TCP/IP' and possibly 'Named Pipes'.
SQL Server 2005 Open SQL Server Configuration Manager. Select "SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration | Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" then enable the protocols you need.


Cause: ASP.Net 2.0 Providers are trying to pull from the server's (nonexistent) Providers database.

By default the machine.config file is trying to pull the Provider information from a SQLExpress database using an invalid connection string named "LocalSQLServer". Many web servers will not have SQLExpress enabled, and will not have this value set to a valid SQL Server database that is of use to you. In a shared hosting environment, this is especially true, as it would be expected that you would want your Provider information stored in your database and not some single database shared by the other users of that web server.

Fix2:
Since you probably cannot access the machine.config file, you need to override the Provider settings in your web.config file, and set the connection string name to your connection string name. The following code comes from the machine.config file and has been modified to first remove each provider before adding the provider.
Add the following code to your web.config file just under the "<system.web>" tag.
Make sure to replace the 3 occurrences of connectionStringName="LocalSQLServer" with your connection string name.
This goes in the system.web section of web.config.

<membership>
<providers>
<remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" />
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider,
System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
connectionStringName="LocalSQLServer"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"

maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"

<profile>
<providers>
<remove name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" />
<add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="LocalSQLServer"
applicationName="/"
type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider,
System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</providers>
</profile>
<roleManager>
<providers>
<remove name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" />
<add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider"
connectionStringName="LocalSQLServer"
applicationName="/"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider,
System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</providers>
</roleManager>

AND Fix3.
Make sure SQL Server and SQL Server Browser are exempted by the firewall on the server machine. This is done by putting sqlservr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe as an exception in the windows firewall. (I was missing "sqlbrowser.exe" from my acceptions)


I´m not convinced if all this was neseccerry but it works now...

I unistilled the server from client of course and run it with the plain client now.

I just wan´t to know one moore thing. Why my server picture and sound is cutting moore that it use to, is it couse of bad signal or too slow pc?
I need to add that I´m gonna make secondary server from my other pc when I get a new lamp to my projector... Is that gonna help?

Now I´m convinced!!!
I had ONLY that "sqlbrowser.exe" blocked by the firewall. ALL THAT OTHER STUFF WAS NOT NESECERRY!!!
Server is up and runnig, and clients r talking with it. So everything is well here with that.

My broblem now is the cutting picture in tv server it self. At the clients the picture is not cutting so mutch (it is a bit thau).
Is there anybody who can tell me if another server is gonna resolve that or is the problem at my pc´s recources?
Here is some info about my tv server pc:
It´s basically an older model Scaleo-T with a bit tweak.
Memory: 2Gb
Processor: 3.0GHz Intel
AND 2x Twinhan Alpha DVB-T (USB) cards (With the BDA1.0.6.3 driver version)

Here is also a screenshot about the TVServer Manual control list. There is Card 1 IDLE but the Card 2 has 1 Timeshifting and 6 recording tasks running, is it soppose to be like that? Or mabye that´s the reason for the cutting picture?
And heres also the logs from TVServer.

I just want to add that I have a Scaleo-E with a 2Gb memory, witch I´m gonna make a server too. Mabye those TV cards are better?
