[QUOTE="snr_duck, post: 194154, member: 19737"] [b]FIXED !!![/b] Eureka !! OK... so I am using Windows auth for the SQL Server. I created a user account on the XP machine running the TV Server. Added the account to the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$MACHINENAME$SQLEXPRESS group. On the PC that is NOT in my home domain I mapped a drive to the TVServer/SQL Server machine using the newly created username and password from the TVServer machine and then started MediaPortal. Refreshed the TV Client Plugin to point at the TV Server again and et voila... I am connected :-) I HATE that it took me so long to work that out :( Too many brain cells killed lately I guess... Maybe the developers can add an authentication portion to the plugin that creates an IPC$ connection to the TV Server for just such a situation ? Thanks for watching this space. Over and out !!
