[QUOTE="michael_t, post: 1003022, member: 85139"] My two cents to this topic: [LIST] [*]The TV server version should not matter, since the tests only check if the TV server can deleiver the database connection string, which is a function beeing there since ever (or at least a very long time...) [*]What does matter is the client version: [LIST] [*]Before 1.3 there is no "Test client connection" function in the config tool - the ip address is simply written into the config file [*]Since 1.3 the "Test client connection" button performs some tests if the TV server machine is existing (ping - error: "cannot detect host ..."), the port is accessible (TCP connection to port 3145 - error: "cannot connect to host ...") and the TV server can deliver the database connection string (error: "cannot get database connection string"). [*]With 1.4 (pre-release) the "Test client connection" logic is simplified - the ping is omitted now. [/LIST] [*]If the 1.3 "Test client connection" button does not work for you, but the 1.2.x config tool does, you could try to enter the "hostname" manually into the MediePortal.xml file without testing and it should work...
