Hi all,
I am running MC23 on an HTPC and, as a backup, a laptop. Due to a recent "upgrade" with my cable company (Comcast/XFinity), I had to go from a set up consisting of (1) my own modem and router to (2) their modem/gateway but still running my router downstream of their hardware. Therefore, I had to learn about port to port forwarding, which I successfully did on my laptop (while the wife and I watched TV on the monitor that the HTPC is connected to). Then, when I attempted to connect to the JRiver server from MC23 on the HTPC, I had no luck until I deleted the port forwarding to the laptop. Note: I was using port 52189 for the laptop (successfully) and the default 52199 for the HTPC (again no success until I deleted the forwarding of 52189). Is this normal behavior?
I was hoping to have a set up for long trips away from home I could have the laptop running as back up in case of a power outage where the HTPC would probably hang when the power is restored. The laptop, having a battery, would theoretically remain up and running during the power failure (which are infrequent and of short duration in my neighborhood). This isn't an urgent issue but I am curious if anyone has an answer out there. Thanks in advance. - Tom
