I'm trying to set up media server on my machine. The network is connected via a switch to a broadband (ADSL) network and it seems, that Media Server catches the IP of the (external) connection and not the IP from the supposed-to-be-server.
So I'm not able to either set up Webremote nor media server nor the funny program beginning with g...

E.g.: Machine 1 (192.168.10.11) should be server. The connection ADSL gets a.b.c.d (<> 192.168.x.y.). So the Media Server seems to bind to a.b.c.d and not 192.168.10.11.
Am I able to force Media Server to one special connection? This should happen with 2 ethernet-cards also, I think.

System: Using the newest MJ. The server runs XP, the clients sometimes win2k sometimes XP. 100mbit-ethernet network with original 3com-cards. Switch from... ähh... don't know, but they do their job :-) Uplink to DSL via DSL-Modem.

Thanks.

Can you not enter the IP address manually? i.e 192.168.10.11:8

The 192.168... address is an internal address.  If you're connecting from outside that network, you have to connect to your router's address and then the router must be set to forward the packets to the internal machine.  

Try your router instructions for setting up a server on your internal network.  It should tell you how.  Or the manufacturer's web site.

A switch is no router. So I don't have an IP for the switch.

The main problem is, that the Windows-RSA has two active connections. One DSL (this one goes over the switch but for _this_ special topic it could also been direct connection via a second ethernet adapter) and the other the (internal) LAN-connection (via an ethernet adapter).

So Windows gets two IPs. The one for the DSL-connection, although it is not connected directly to the PC, and the other one for the "normal" ethernet connection.

How do I manually set the "interface" (I think this is the correct technical term) to use?

Thanks.

Oh darn. Shame on me...

The XP-"Server" autoconfigs to 169.254.131.167 and I thought this would be the DSL-IP. But this one gets 80.132.163.112...
(somehow my brain came back and I simply typed "ipconfig"...)

I'm sorry about that. Wasted you precious time.
