[QUOTE="gperkinson, post: 597739, member: 83961"] Hi, A couple of things: - the PC I'm using is setup to connect to Citrix at work and at home - not sure if that may affect how it is behaving?? Could this be the external address you are referring to? - I have a Netgear wireless router I'm using for the network. It has DHCP enabled (which I understand assigns an IP in order as computers logon) This is why I'm thinking the PC Name "PerkysPC"is the best so it resolves the IP Address given - correct?? - I have been able to open the firewalls on both machines and share folders in the TV Server machine with the client machine through the network - would that indicate that the machines are talking together OK? If so, is the issue more centred around MediaPortal setup?? - When I execute the MP Client connected to the router, it hangs, but as soon as I disconnect, it frees up and boots up OK - but no streaming Also found this article tonight on setting up Media Portal [url]http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=84&TopicId=25615[/url] .... it outlines setting up single seat on the TV Server machine (about half way down) so I don't think it's the issue?
