Hi anothergene,
Doublecheck your networking on the client computer. The IP/Port combo should return a web page. Describe your network config here.
Hi TimB,
Try the IP/Port test mentioned here and see what happens. Describe your network config including any firewalls you are running.

This test?
What happens if you use a regular web browser and browse to "http//192.168.1.100:81/"
Weird, when I paste in that address Mozilla Firebird took me to http://www.ttpcom.com/ttpcom/index.html. Edited out when I corrected the port to my actual port. See post below.
Firewall-wise I did add Zonealarm yesterday but the problem preexisted that. Other than that I've got my Linksys router's built-in firewall but nothing else as far as I can remember.
Network is:
2 wired PC's (1 XP (where Media Server is running), 1 98SE) connected to a Linksys Router.
1 Linksys WAP connected to a Linksys Router, the Laptop that I'm trying to connect to Media Server is coming into this WAP.
Router to Cable Modem.
Not sure what else to tell you, I'm no Network ace.
Only other "weird" thing I've recently added is an m-audio Audiophile 2496 sound card. I am a software twiddler (is that illegal?
) so not sure what else I might have done.
MC appears to find Media Server as it starts up but then I get the message.
