[QUOTE="mythtified, post: 165285, member: 25097"] Well that is where the problem is isn't it? In order to use the fully qualifed name from within the subnet I would need to be connected to the mediaportal machine with a vpn of some sort. If I were to use the fully qualified domain name from outside the subnet and use port forwarding then changing the name of the server to the external name would cause problems inside the subnet. I tried to use port forwarding and because my wins server name was being returned I could never connect with mysql server. I have tried Hamachi with limited success. I can finally get the client to connect to the mysql database by bouncing the sql server, going to myplugins/my tv/tv guide, then out to my tv again. This usually allows me to connect to the mysql server and get access to the EPG data. If I shut down the client and start it again then I have to start the process over again. I do not know whether this is because of connecting across the internet or not. I have not been able to be home long enough to test this on the same subnet. I have the same problem streaming video to the client. The server, according to my logs, is returning the server's local ip address. I am not sure how this will be taken care of short of installing a vpn between my remote machine and my local network. But this has given me something to occupy my time with. [/QUOTE]
