I've enabled Media Network on MC17 under Win 7 64 bit. Wi-Fi connection. Network location type is set to Home. My laptop is discoverable on the network.
I opened the port on my software firewall.
I opened the same port on the FiOS router (though I don't think I need to do this just to use it via LAN).
For some reason, if I try to connect to the IP address of my machine, say 192.168.1.10:52199, I get nothing.
I've disabled my software firewall completely (Kaspersky Pure) and still not had any luck.
I also did something crazy and turned the security functions of the router "off" completely as well. Still can't connect.
I've tried from another laptop and I've tried from a Kindle Fire. Neither will connect to MC17.
I'm just trying to use the connection as a remote, since I often fire up my music from my main PC and then work about 10 feet from the laptop. Guess I'm just being lazy.
Any recommendations?
I've also tried configuring a different port completely and that doesn't work either.
