Title: MC16, Zones & Gizmo
Post by: brossmac on March 28, 2011, 11:36:15 am

I'm having trouble figuring out how to do the the following:

I have MC16 on my XP Desktop (running the server) and on my Win7 Laptop.  I have the laptop in the living room connecting via wireless to the library on the server.

I also have Gizmo installed on my Android tablet (actually a rooted B&N Nook Color--a GREAT choice for a $250 Android tablet).  I want to use Gizmo to control MC on the Laptop rather than on the server.

I have a feeling Zones are what I want to use, but I haven't been able to figure out how to set it up, even after going through quite a few threads here.

Anything I can do...?

Turn on networking on both PC's in Tools/Options/Media Network.  Use the Access Key from the server machine to connect.

In Gizmo, you can choose the source and the destination.
