[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1189614, member: 74879"] That's not my experience. Names remain unchanged when upgrading to Win 10. The true issue appears to be the way how MediaPortal handles IP addresses. A standard Win 10 upgrade/install will activate IPv6. If TV Server IP lookup is set to automatic or to the computer name, it will resolve into the respective IPv6 address, which then the MediaPortal client is not able to connect to. That's not a Windows problem but caused by the MP1 implementation. For the client one needs to replace the Auto or computer name in the configuration by the absolute IPv4 address. The last resort is always to completely deactivate IPv6 on all machines, but I would consider this an end-of-the-pipe approach. [/QUOTE]
