[QUOTE="austuff, post: 821641, member: 81719"] Hi, I have just setup a new mediaportal box for my mum on windows 7 pro 32bit, latest version of MP that wont be on a netwk (not connected to a swicth etc) but it has a working nic in it. MP config TV section is pointing at the computer name and it doesnt seem to be having a problem playing tv etc when not plugged in to a network (nic is still enabled). My old xp machines did have a problem in the past when they off the network I think I recall setting up loobback on them but have sinced kept them online (connected to swicth).
