I had given up on this for a while, but now I am determined to get the media server working. At home, the server works fine ... I can access my media library (stored on my desktop PC) from my wireless laptop and my other wireless desktop. I can NOT access it from my work desktop. All machines have the exact same current Media Center version. I have set all software firewalls to allow ports 5556 and 8931 and to allow Media Center and Media Server. I did NOT use the
http://192.168.1.100:8931 number ... I used the
http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8931 number (and also tried 5556). What else is left for me to try? BTW, I did a search for the word "server" and found nothing helpful going back 500 days. Any ideas? Thanks, -Rick
