[QUOTE="copperwave, post: 286187, member: 52084"] Hi Burr so - in the meantime I had also upgraded to RC2 to see if that made any difference. It looks as if the DB has changed its name again. This time to MyTvDbRc2. However, to check that the SQL comms were OK, I renamed the DB back to both TvLibrary (your original sqlconnect) and to MyTvDbRc1 (the latest version). The good thing is that if I use the IP address then I get a connection - on both the working and non-working clients. If I use a host name I don't. To try back tracking I have also uninstalled MP from the server and gone back to RC1 to see if standardising on "TVLibrary" made things any more productive. Strangely, I get my host pc's name inserted into Mediaportal.xml. If I manually edit the xml file and change <hostname> to the servers IP address, MP as a LAN client eventually loads - but selecting TV just causes the GUI to go non-responsive. WRT to your pointer in the wiki - I have done / made the appropriate changes to SQL to allow remote connections. Thanks //copperwave [/QUOTE]
