Hi all,
I am having a problem connecting to the Media Server running on my home machine from my work machine. The server is up and running no problems on my home machine, and I can ping the ip address from my work machine fine. I am using the correct port. It just doesn't find it when I try to connect, it is so odd.
When I do the reverse as a test, that is set up Media Server running at work, I can connect to it with no problems from home. But I want to connect to my home machine from work. I have DSL with a static IP at home. I called my DSL provider and my ISP and they said they have nothing running that would prevent this. Obviously file sharing works since I can run p2p programs at home with no problems.
Somebody help! I want to hear my tunes while at work
Other Info:
Using MJ 8.0.320
Windows XP Pro
- I can ping it from work or somewhere else no problem
- no firewall or software which would prevent me from connecting
- Network Adapter TCP/IP filtering is set to permit all (i.e. no
special filtering)
- P2P programs work fine
Any help is most welcome!
Jeff
