CORRECT set up of server-client for home use on 3/4 pc's
MrU:
Mreapool,
I followed your link....confuzzling for me..HOWEVER, not sure how "other than temporraily disabling firewalls on the server & one of the clients" but I managed to get an access key code [xxxxxb] .
Then typing that , as you suggested , into the client....it still wont see the server.
Its (server) is suggesting it is using port 5199 - trying anyway)...whereas Jim says 80 is the one.
I don't know whether this helps , but in loading MC15 it has a different access key and a slightly different port.....192.168.1.100.52199
the MC15 works perfectly well....it needed NO configuration in my router or built in windows firewall.
Im at a loss to understand why MC17 will not configure to be used for anything other than a server....not as a server???

You can customize the TCP port you want to use in the Advanced settings (it appears once you check Use Media Network). Try setting MC17 to use port 52199.
You might also want to edit the access key out of your previous post ;)

I believe the default port is 52199. Make sure that the server is set to that and all clients are using it.
I would also disable the firewall on the client and the server as a temporary measure to get things working.
The basics of this process are pretty simple.
Have you tried testing the connection to the internet from the server. Click on the ... next to the access key in options and validate that the server can reach the internet (it should since you have a access key)
If the server can reach the internet, then there is something not right on the client.

MrU:
thankyou for suggesting to remove access key.
However I'm going round in circles here with NO progress.
Would it be fair to Say that MC17 is too complex to set up as a household server/client and perhaps it would be best to uninstall it completely and to stay with the MC15 which has been without any problem's for 2 years + now.
I would have to ask for a return of money, and it would be a shame as Ive been using MC exclusively for at least 8 years now.
If anyone can help any further it would be much appreciated.
thankyou
Geoff
BryanC:
Make sure that all instances of the MC15 media server have been disabled on startup.
