I've been trying to set up a "new" (new to me...old in actuality--it was
given to me by a friend) server these past couple of days but have had fits
getting the Realslim plugin to work.  There have been a number of problems
(I've always had a number of problems initially configuring realslim), but
with some fiddling I seem to be able to get everything to work except that
the Rhapsody portion of the plugin (hookanddie.exe) doesn't hook into the
Rhapsody application.

While I can't get this to work on my "new" server, in the past I've managed
to get the setup working on various computers with Win2k SP4 as well as
WinXP SP1.  I've never managed to get it working on WinXP SP2 (if anyone out
there has had success with that I'd love to hear about it!).  My new setup
follows:

Duron 650
384 MB RAM
integrated NIC
integrated sound
WinXP SP1
Rhapsody v. 2.1

I'm logging in under an account with administrative privileges that's not
called administrator.

and probably not pertinent but I'll list it anyhow:
Squeezebox 1 wired with character-based display

I've tried the setup with both slimserver 5.4 (Dec. 3rd '04 nightly--old, I
know, but it's the version I've had success with on other machines) with
Realslim 0.6 as well as slimserver 6.1 (the latest release version) with the
modified Realslim plugin.pm and altered upnp common.pm file as specified by
gsamsa in this thread (btw, thanks, gsamsa, for doing some work on
Realslim...it's greatly appreciated):

Does anyone know if the hook into the Rhapsody app is dependent upon the
sound card in any way?  Or perhaps I need to do something with the ports on
this machine...I have no firewalls running of any sort.  I'll also mention
that I *do* have UPNP turned on in the rhapsody app.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.  This machine has a totally fresh install of XP,
updated to SP1 with nothing on it but rhapsody, realslim, and slimserver.  I
have no other 3rd-party plugins installed into slimserver and have only a
handful of mp3 files in a test music directory.
