[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 620304, member: 57999"] The "shut down server after being idle" time (5 minutes) is the length of time MP must be left idle on the main menu before it shuts the machine down. The "pre-no-shutdown" time (120 sec in your example) is to stop it shutting down just before a recording is due. If MP has been left idle for 5 minutes and is about to shut down, it checks to see if any recordings are going to happen in the next 120 seconds (the pre-no-shutdown time) and will not shut down if it finds any. It is just to stop the machine shutting down then coming straight back on again immediately. So to answer your "5 or 7 minutes" question... it will shut down after 5 minutes idle UNLESS there is a recording due to start in the next 2 minutes. I'm not sure about the network settings, I haven't fiddled with those (my installation is single-seat). Rob [/QUOTE]
