TV-Server/Configuration/Firewall - MediaPortal Manual Documentation

For the tv-server computer the "File and Printer sharing" has to be enabled in the Windows XP firewall. Otherwise the client won't be able to connect properly.

It took quite a long time for me to figure this out.

Hi, thx the information has been added to the new wiki as well.

Moved the thread since it's not a patch submit...

OK, thanks, I wanted to report this, but did not know where =). I tried to first fix it myself but that wiki page was locked... which is of course good from security perspective

It's not a security issue but we have just released the new wiki and wanted to test first with a few contributers before opening it to the public...
