Ahhh, I see that I didn't realize the limitations.
At my job, I work on a daily basis with large, multi-application databases and so tend to assume some of the same functionality with this server\client setup. I know I shouldn't assume, so please do keep up posting those tips.
Hmmm, I'll have to think and read up on this some more. I certainly don't have a problem setting a static IP.
I do wish to have (as I'm used to having at work) any changes made on server or clients to show for both server\clients.
For example, if I add more music to my server folder that is watched, does the client need to watch that folder also, or does the client get it's music list from the server's database?
My usage I expect will be light, once I get things set up, all I'll do is add and rate music. Maybe add\manipulate some images related to the music. I'm not really intending on using it for anything else at this point, tho that might change in the future.
