Thanks for the tips.  I will try the additional switches tonight.  I have a feeling some basic thing is hosed in my OS... I was having some funny problems under 2000 and the simple upgrade to XP didn't fix them, so I am now just about decided to wipe the disk and do a clean XP install and start over ...  lot of trouble, but whats a mother to do lah?  Bill Gates strikes again.  ;)
 
I am able to run winamp and connect to the desktop slimserver from the laptop without problem, and can also open the browser with // <IP addr>:9000 to the other box, so I don't think its a firewall or port issue. 
 
Anyway tonight will try the additional switches to learn what I can... and if I am ambitious I might just rebuild the whole laptop hard disk.

This is the attempt to find musicmagic, should be harmless since it is just
timing out as it has been told to do.

do you have any firewall blocking port 9000? try d_http to check on any incoming
connections to the server, d_info to make sure its done scanning (which might
slow down an initial browser connection)
