[QUOTE="seco, post: 888008, member: 54595"] Just few days ago I was struggling with moving from single-seat to multi-seat installation and based on my experiences this is what I suggest: 1) Set DHCP on your network to assign specific IP addresses for specific MAC addresses (this way each computer has IP that does not change over time, except if the network card is changed) 2) Use IP addresses everywhere, do not use host names (in TV-Server configuration, MP TV-Client configuration, MySQL configuration) 3) Make sure that all firewalls are disabled on both client and server 4) Make sure that all firewalls are really disabled on both client and server 5) Check that MySQL accepts remote connections for root: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/15_Customization/TV-Server/SQL_Server/MySQL[/url] 6) Check Gentle.config files on both client and server, there is MySQL connection string which should have the IP address of your server 7) Check that you can connect MySQL server from your client computer, on client open Command Prompt and type "telnet <your-server-ip> 3306". If the connection is OK you get some crap on your console window. If you don't have telnet client installed, you can install it in Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Telnet Client [/QUOTE]
