[QUOTE="Marky Mark, post: 102324, member: 12893"] I couldn't see an answer from a quick search of the forum and wiki, but a few people seem to be asking, so after a bit of trial and error the following settings seem to allow the server and client to work across a network... Server - Allow the following program exceptions in the windows firewall: C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\TvService.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlbrowser.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe I also had to allow mediaprotal as an exception on the client, but this was a pop up rather than changing the firewall settings - presumably adding mediaportal.exe to the exceptions would have the same effect. Change the settings as appropriate if you have not used the default installation directories, and I haven't thoroughly tested this, just made sure that the streaming TV worked, so there may be other exceptions that need to be added for different functionality. P.S. Thanks for the tutorials - I was struggling to get it up and working until I had that guidance! [/QUOTE]
