Please help me understand setting up Media Server
macdonjh:
It does, but my client computer doesn't necessarily lose it's ability to "see" my network Library then. That said, the few times I have lost communication, my server computer has been asleep.
By "asleep" I mean screen dark after however many minutes of no user input rather than me going to the Start menu and executing the "sleep" command.
macdonjh:
Update: I haven't gotten a connection between my Client computer and Server in three days. I have no idea how to begin trouble shooting this.
Client computer: I'm listening to music (from a local Library) and connected to the internet to type this, so I know I am connected to my NAS through our wi-fi router.
Server computer: I've just started a TV Show using the Library I have "connected" with Media Server, so I know it's also connected to my NAS through our wi-fi router (it used to be an ethernet connection, but that's another problem).
So both computers are connected to our network, but they won't talk with each other. Any ideas?
JimH:
Did you turn on Media Network in MC options?
macdonjh:
I've attached a snip of the Tools -> Options -> Media Network screen of my Client computer.
The same screen on my Server computer has the "Use Media Network to share this library and enable DLNA" box checked and displays an Access Key. My Client computer has recognized the Access Key in the past and connected to my Server computer properly.
zybex:
On the MC server, make sure the Network profile is "Private", not "Public". Windows asks you this when you connect to a new network/wifi for the first time, but you can check and change it if needed.
If it's already Private then check the Windows firewall (or other Antivirus+Firewall product). You need to tell it not to block MC.
