[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 914241, member: 82144"] Hi guys Strange stuff. Can I just make sure I have the facts straight as well. 1. You have one server, "TVPC" - 192.168.1.130. 2. You have X clients, 2 of which don't seem to be able to connect to the MP TV Server. The others (including at least one client-only install) are perfectly fine. 3. The problem appears to be an issue with connecting to the TV Server database. 4. The clients that can't connect can see file shares and ping the server successfully using IP address or host name. Does your server or either of the problem-clients have multiple network adapters? Are you sure that the DB server is bound to the IP that you specified? What are the problem client IP addresses, and can you give an example of an IP address for a client that is able to connect to the server? Do you have IPv6 enabled in any way on the network? Have you installed Workbench on the server to check that it finds the server - as I recall, I had to configure the servers that Workbench sees - and also, can you use Workbench to check the DB server logs? As previously mentioned, I recommend disabling all firewalls while testing. I also recommend disabling all except one of the network adapters on each PC, and using static IP addresses. Further, I recommend you avoid the use of host names both in the gentle.config and the MediaPortal client TV plugin configuration. Finally, I recommend that you check the MySQL server configuration. 1. Ensure the port is 3306. 2. Ensure "skip networking" is *not* ticked. 3. Ensure that "root" can connect from any host. 4. Ensure that "root" has all privileges on MpTvDb. As I said before, when MP installs MySQL all of that stuff should be configured correctly. However it doesn't hurt to double check. mm [/QUOTE]
