Because the server does not initiate connections to clients: the clients initiate a connection to the server. You can, if you want, specify the settings of the SB2 (ie, IP, netmask, gateway, and the IP of the srever) by holding the left arrow until you get to the network setup screen. > > I do see an ARP request from my SB2 for the "Who has ..." for the IP of > my server. > if the server never answers that, then that is your problem: have some sort of firewall installed like ZoneAlarm? is your server on a vpn? If your server hides from the SB2, then, well, the sb2 even with the correct ip will not be able to connect to your server. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79926 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
