TV Card Driver[/b]: latest Hi, Ok I am not attaching logs as it does not help with this problem really. First I'll describe my setup I have a desktop PC which is where the telephone comes into the flat and is connected to the wireless DSL router using an Ethernet cable. I also have a HTPC in the living room which is where the satellite cable enters the flat. This is the PC that the TV Server runs on and also mediaportal for the TV in the living room. The two PC's are at oppostite ends of the flat and especially with it being a rented flat I do not fancy hard wiring the Ethernet to the HTPC, especially as the wireless connection works fine for all other uses. The problem comes with how the TV server initialises itself. When the TV server starts it checks to see if there is a network connection, and if there is it gives itself the IP address of that connection ie 192.168.1.2. If there is no connection it sets itself to the local host IP 127.0.0.1 When the HTPC in my living room starts up the TV Service is always started before the WLAN is connected, so it always ends up have 127.0.0.1. Now if I try to use the Desktop PC over the wireless LAN I can connect to the SQL server and see all the EPG, but when I try to watch a channel the RTSP sent to the desktop PC contains the IP 127.0.0.1 and of course it does not connect. To solve this I can restart the TV service after the WLAN is connected and then viewing from the desktop over wireless works fine. Except that when watching TV on the living room PC after the TV Service restart and the WLAN drops out for any reason then connection to the TV SERVER is lost. Anyone got any solutions to this other than a wired connection as I am sure I am not the only person who would rather use a wireless connection. [/QUOTE]
