First off, thank you for responding.  I've interspersed the answers to
your questions and sorry for not providing this previously.

) what OS

XP pro
2) what version of slimserver

The latest.  I downloaded whatever was on the site last week in an
attempt to see if this was the root problem.

3) what's the wireless network [are all devices on the same subnet?]
I'm not sure what you mean by what the wireless network is, but all
devices are on the same subnet.
4) can you ping the player from the server

Yes

5) what does netstat show (from a cmd window assuming on windows)

Netstat shows listings, without actual data, for "Proto," "Local
Address," "Foreign Address," and "State."


then your server isn't running. Try starting it again, you should see lines for 9000 and 3483, at least.

6) what AV and firewall settings have you set to allow slimserver

First, i went to exceptions, where Windows had already recognized and
blocked the Slimerver.  I unchecked these.  I rebooted.  Nothing.  I
then disabled the the firewall entirely.  Same thing.  Did the same
thing with the AVG antivirus program. Same result.

AVG doesn't do a network block, but XPSP2 firewall certainly will. The exceptions list is what SHOULD NOT be blocked, unchecking applications there will cause them to be blocked.

Thanks for your help.

Andy
