I have the Gizmo app on my android.  It worked for a few days, but then it stopped working and simply won't connect.  Any ideas?

Did your MC server receive a new IP address? If the computer is configured to use DHCP you may have received a new IP address. Also, if you changed the network interface (eg went from wireless to wired) you'll probably have a different IP address.

I didn't change anything; it just stopped.  Can I check any setting changes?  Forgive my ignorance about these things.  All I care about is great sound, and I've fallen behind in tech talk.

On the Media Center computer, expand "Services & Plug-Ins" and click on Media Network. In the "Overview" section on the right it will list your active interface. It turns out I don't know how to see the IP address that Gizmo is using, so I suggest that you delete the server in Gizmo and add it again.

It reports seeing the interface, but when I try to use the Android based Gizmo, it continually retries with no success.

Have you tried restarting the Media Center computer? Also, sometimes people disable WiFi on their phones and forget to turn it back on. Make sure your phone's WiFi is enabled and you're on the same network as your Media Center computer. Make sure you phone isn't on your guest network (if you have one). Sorry if this sounds too elementary, but these things happen from time to time.

I might have the wrong Library Server access key.  How do I find that?
