[QUOTE="DragonQ, post: 1002045, member: 115209"] I can't seem to connect to my MP TV Server at home from work when connected via a VPN. It definitely used to work but I haven't used it in months so loads of things could've changed since then (it was probably MP 1.2.3). Basically I have a VPN connection set up on my Windows Server 2012 machine at home, and can connect via L2TP from my work laptop. I can ping my server using both its static IP and hostname, I can browse shares on the machine and watch TV files that are currently recording (for example). However, if I open MP Config and type either the hostname or IP address of my server into the "TV Client" tab and click "Test Connection", it just says "Unable to detect host". Since ping works I'm not sure what the problem can be. The logs are useless - the only relevant line is: [code]"2013-06-13 14:34:04.025996 [Debug][Config Main(1)]: VerifyHostname: unable to detect host "hda"[/code] Nothing appears in the logs of the TV Server. All of my machines are running the Custom Data Grabber build of 1.3.0. [/QUOTE]
