Can MC Client auto connect to a media server?
« on: December 10, 2003, 02:12:33 am »

I have 2 computers at home, and I want one computer to be the media server and one to be a media client. I've set everything up and I can conect to my media server from my client but my question is - can i set up the media client so that it allways conect to the server from start? The client don't have any local media library at all.

Definitely yes. I think all you have to do is exit MC while connected to the server. Then I believe the next time you run MC it'll try to connect automatically. But you can also setup a shortcut with a command-line parameter specifying which server to connect to at startup:


mjextman.exe /Connect m01p://[ip address or host name] establishes connection to a remote Media Server

What was the name of that character Johnny Carson used to do when he'd put the turban on and hold the envelopes up to his head? He'd guess the anser to the question contained therein before even opening the envelope. His answers were funnier though :).

Carnak.   Possibly one of the funnest things on television I've ever seen was a Carnak joke.

The answer was "Sis boom bah".
The question was "What is the sound of an exploding sheep?"
